What is recorded here

Sweat Ho appears only on an 1835 map, tucked on a sunny slope beside a quiet stream and abandoned farms. The land keeps no visible trace, yet heat, breath and shadow may have filled the hidden place.
Indicated as a sweat house only on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated at the top of a S and E-facing slope on the N bank of a W-E stream that is on the lower E-facing slope of Thur Mountain and within 200m of abandoned farmhoues to the E and S. No feature is visible at ground level. 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
