What is recorded here

Situated on a steep S-facing slope in dense scrub, and with abandoned houses c. 150m to the SW and SE. Indicated as a sweat house only on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This is an oval overgrown cairn (dims 4m x 2m; H 1m) with a collapsed roof, but there is no visible entrance. 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. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
