What is recorded here

Sweat Ho is a ruined beehive-shaped drystone structure beside a Cavan stream, reduced to a collapsed shadow inside a dense conifer plantation. It may have held breath, heat and waiting for people who are no longer named. What remains is small enough to forget, yet stubborn enough to prove that the land still remembers bodily rituals.

Not marked on OS 1836 or 1876 eds. Situated within a dense modern plantation of coniferous trees adjacent to a stream. Described as 'almost completely ruined' in 1939 (1939, 34), it is now largely destroyed. A small beehive-shaped drystone-built structure (int. diam. 1.65m). The roof-stones and the wall at NW have collapsed. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
