- LE031-039 Burial ground
Description
Located at the top of a prominent drumlin, with a N-S section of the River Shannon c. 300m to the W. A rectangular hachured feature is designated as 'Caldragh', which is the Irish word for burial ground, only on the 1945 revision of the OS 6-inch map. This is a grass-covered rectangular platform (dims c. 80m NW-SE c. 60m NE-SW) defined by a slight bank (Wth 3m; H 0.1m) at SW, a scarp (Wth 3.7m; H 0.45m) at SE an a slight bank (Wth 5.3m; H 0.1-0.2m) at NE. There is no surface evidence of burial or any record of burial. The interior is bisected by a NE-SW road and its perimeter cannot be detected NW of this feature. There is no evidence of a church (LE031-039001-), but there is a bullaun stone (LE031-039002-) and the burial ground is within the large ecclesiastical enclosure (LE031-039003-). Archaeological monitoring and excavation (15E0453) on the line of the NW road bank encountered six burials (595098, 798912) and what might have been a grave-marker with other disturbed bones overlying archaeological features, including a ditch that could have formed the N and W boundary of a burial ground, along with a possible hearth. The bullaun stone (dims 0.8m X 0.5m; H 0.5m) with a single basin (diam. 0.32m; D 0.16m) worn down at one side, which had been at a nearby house in 1977 (SMR file) had become incorporated into the road bank but was rediscovered (Delaney 2015). Further testing (18E0707) in the SW quadrant of the ecclesiastical enclosure identified a ditch (Wth 4-7m) on the line of its perimeter. Other features in this area were post-holes and pits containing animal bones and slag suggesting that this part of the enclosure was devoted to industrial activity (McHugh 2019).

- LE031-039001 Church
Description
Located at the top of a prominent drumlin with a N-S section of the River Shannon c. 300m to the W. There is no evidence of a church structure at the ecclesiastical enclosure (LE031-039003-). Nor has any early saint been identified as associated with it (Ó Riain 2011), but the ecclesiastical enclosure at Attirory (LE031-039003-) is undoubtedly the site of an early monastery and the bullaun stone (LE031-039002-) helps to confirm it. 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: 15 October 2019 Amended: 10 January 2020
- LE031-039002 Bullaun stone
Description
Located at the top of a prominent drumlin with a N-S section of the River Shannon c. 300m top the W. This is a D-shaped bullaun stone (dims 0.8m x 0.5m; H 0.5m) with a single basin (diam. 0.32m; D 0.16m) worn down at one side which had been at a nearby house in 1977 (SMR file). It became incorporated into the road bank but was rediscovered in excavation (Delaney 2015, 2). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 15 October, 2019 Amended: 10 January 2020
- LE031-039003 Ecclesiastical enclosure
Description
Located towards the top of a prominent drumlin. The burial ground (LE031-039----) is at the centre of a grass-covered circular earthen enclosure (diam. c. 150m) defined by an earthen bank that is best preserved at NW (Wth of base 3.5m; H 0.65m) with a slight external fosse (Wth 2.5m), but it is reduced to a scarp (max. H 1m E-SE) over much of the perimeter elsewhere. There is no evidence of a church (LE031-039001-), but there is a burial ground (LE031-039001-) within the enclosure where the bullaun stone (LE031-039002-) was re-discovered. Archaeological testing (03E1788) c. 40m to the NNE of the perimeter at the closest point produced no related material (Read 2006), but archaeological testing (18E0707) in the SW quadrant identified a ditch (Wth 4-7m) on the line of the perimeter. Other features in this area were post-holes and pits containing animal bones and metal slag, suggesting that this part of the enclosure was devoted to industrial activity (McHugh 2019; exavations.ie 2019:075). The area was completely stripped in May 2020 under the same licence (McHugh 2021), revealing the ditch (L 33m; Wth of top 3.1-3.5m; D 0.65m plus) with three upper fills of clay with stones. The development site was subsequently back-filled, the fosse being preserved beneath a geotextile protective layer.
