Recorded monuments
- LE030-038 Ritual site - holy well
Description
Situated In a fold on a gentle S-facing slope, with a NNW-SSE stream c. 6m to the E. This well is dedicated to St. Patrick and is described as such on the 1835 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It was described in 1991 (SMR file) as an overgrown rectangular stone-lined trough (dims 1m x 0.8m) and there was local knowledge of veneration and a rag bush. In 2000 it was conserved as a circular stone-lined well (diam. 1.1m; D 0.6m) with a patio to the E, and the well is approached by steps from the S. An overflow channel emerges from under the patio and debouches into a circular stone basin or trough (ext. diam. 0.54m; H 0.35m), from where it continues SE to the stream. The conserved well is within a D-shaped enclosure (dims 13m E-W; 12m N-S) which is defined by the stream at E, a field bank at N and a slightly curving stone wall S-W. A path leads to the public road c. 110m to the W. 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.

- LE030-038001 Stone trough
Description
The overflow channel from St Patrick’s holy well (LE030-038----) runs into a small stone circular basin or trough (ext. diam. 0.54m; H 0.35m; int. diam. 0.41m; D 0.25m), the rim of which is broken at one side to allow the stream to flow out at a lower level and continue to a NNW-SSE stream.

- LE030-039 Ringfort - rath
Description
Located towards the N end of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 40.5m N-S; 40.3m E-W; int. diam. 34.3m E-W; 33.5m N-S) defined by a round-topped, steep-sided earthen bank (Wth of base 5.5-8m; int. H 0.7-1m; ext. H 2.8-3.4m) which is planted with coniferous trees, and an external fosse (Wth of top 6.6-9.m; Wth of base 2-3.5m; ext. D 0.4m S-W to 0.9m at N). An outer bank (Wth of base 2m; max. int. H 1.5m; ext. H 0.7m) exists only at S and is probably a field bank as it is separated from the fosse by a berm (Wth 1m). The entrance (Wth of base 4m) and causeway (Wth of top 3m) are at E (max. ext. diam. 57m N-S; 61.5m E-W). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).
