What is recorded here
Kilnagarns Lower holds a sandstone upright on a drumlin slope, leaning east-west beside a court tomb. The stone may have marked a gate or a boundary before people stopped asking it to remember. Its chipped edge and buried base suggest it has stood through forgetting, still pointing toward the place it once separated.
Located toward the top of the E-facing slope of a drumlin. A sandstone upright (dims 0.73m x 0.25m; H 1.35m) oriented ENE-WSW with a damaged W edge is built into a field bank and was possibly used as a gatepost. The court tomb (LE018-006---) is c. 35m to the W.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
