- LE009-006002 Burial ground
Description
Depicted as an oval hachured feature (dims c. 25m N-S; c. 20m E-W) described in gothic lettering as ‘Lissheenlanyreilly’ on the 1910 ed. of the OS 6-inch map but the name also appears in italic lettering on the 1835 edition. It is situated on a N-S ridge planted with coniferous trees and it is c. 30m S of a large glacial erratic (LE009-005----). It is described as a fort and a burial ground ’having five sides 70 links across (diam. c. 14m)’ (OS Name Books). This is a slightly raised circular area (diam. 13m) defined by intermittently visible kerbstones (dims up to 1.8m x 0.6m; H 0.5m), with three on the perimeter W-N. There is no visible evidence of burial, but it may have been a children's burial ground. 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
- LE009-009 Sweathouse

Harte, Leitrim Sweathouse Project). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).

- LE009-011 Bullaun stone
Description
Situated on high poorly drained boggy land in an area of rock outcrop with good views of Lough Macnean Upper to the E. This is an area where the landcover is dominated by blanket bog and heath. Irregular shaped bedrock of carboniferous sandstone which has been revealed as the bog has been cut away with two deep circular basins (diam. 0.2m; D 0.09m: diam. 0.2m; D 0.1m) on its surface. The basins are 0.39m apart, one of several bullauns within this area. Nearby bullaun stones (LE009-011001-; LE009-012----) are located 60m and 250m to the NW respectively. This feature may have been caused by natural erosion of the carboniferous sandstone and may not be the result of human activity. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 29 January, 2016
