What is recorded here

Sweat Ho is a chamber built into a field wall on an E-facing drumlin slope in County Leitrim, Ireland, beside an abandoned farmhouse. Heat, breath and shadow may have moved through that small curve before the wall closed around it. The house still holds the shape of a body bent into stone.
Situated towards the top of the E-facing slope of a drumlin and built into a field wall c. 20m E of an abandoned farmhouse. Marked only on the latest edition of the OS 6-inch map. Part of the curve of the backwall of a chamber can be seen. 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
