  Situated at the crest of a N-facing slope overlooking Lough Errew. It is represented only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘Cromlech’. Two large stones, one prone (dims c. 2.3m x v. 2.5m; T 0.2-0.4m) but supported on a few small boulders and the other upright (dims c. 2m x c. 0.3m; H c. 2.5m), might be an ornamental feature associated with the nearby mansion of Lough Rinn House (LE036-006---). Archaeological monitoring (03E1761) of a new road c. 80m to the SW at its closest point produced no related material (Read 2009). (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 86) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).

• LE036-013 Crannog
  Description

  A small island described as ‘Lady Elizabeth’s Island’ is depicted only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map c. 35m from the E shore of Lough Rinn (dims c. 3.8km N-S; c. 200-400m E-W). This is an overgrown island, irregular in plan (diam. of base c. 20m) with a flat topped cairn (diam. of base c. 10m; H 2-3m) in the centre. There is no evidence of timber construction around the base of the cairn, although it is possible that the cairn obscures such evidence. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 7 January 2020
