Stone row in Miltron Glebe

Located on the E-facing slope of a drumlin and in a col with the summits of drumlins c. 450m to the NW and c. 300m to the E. It is just E of a nineteenth century farmyard. A line (L 5.6m) of five contiguous conglomerate boulders, one of which been displaced, is generally aligned N-S. From the S the stones are (dims 1m x 0.4m, H 0.5m; 0.9m x 0.4m, H c. 0.5m; 1m x 0.4m, H c. 0.5m; fallen 1m x 0.7m; dims 1m x 1m, H 0.6m). About 2m to the SE is a sixth stone (dims 1m x 0.7m), also displaced. 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.

Probably dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, the stone row may have had ceremonial or ritual significance, possibly aligned with seasonal or astronomical events. Such arrangements are often associated with funerary or territorial markers in prehistoric landscapes.
