Recorded monuments

• LE030-037 Megalithic structure
  Description

  Situated at the bottom of a N-facing slope adjacent to a farmyard. What is depicted as two rows of stones running E-W (L c. 15m) on the OS 25-inch map is described as a ‘Stone Circle’ on that map and on the 1907 edition of the 6-inch map. It had been removed before 1944 and was described to Oliver Davies (SMR file) as a passage defined by two lines of stones protruding c. 0.4m from the ground. It had an entrance at W and was divided into two chambers separated by jamb-stones with cairn material (diam. c. 12m) around it but there were no kerbstones delimiting the cairn. It may have been a court tomb but no archaeological feature is visible now 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 14 October 2019
