What is recorded here

Sweat House is an anomalous stone group in Carricknagat (tirerrill By.), County Sligo, Ireland. In front of its doorway is a small courtyard measuring 2.24 metres north to south and 1.5 metres east to west. Upright slabs define the west, east and north sides, with three slabs on the west, four on the east and one large slab on the north. An entrance gap 0.8 metres wide opens at the northeast corner.

In front of the doorway of the sweathouse (SL021-066001-) is a small courtyard type feature (2.24m N-S; 1.5m E-W) defined on W, E and N sides by upright contiguous slabs that were considered by Weir (1979, 196) to form part of a megalithic tomb but this is most unlikely. There are three slabs on the W side, four on the E side and a single large slab defining the N side with an entrance gap (Wth 0.8m) at NE.
