Recorded monuments

• LE001-031001 Cross - High cross
  Description

  On a small hillock in Tullaghan village. A plain upright Latin cross (dims of base 0.6m x 0.3m; H 3.21m) with slightly expanded arms is set in a chamfered sandstone base (dims 1.4m x 1.04m; H 0.87m). It leans slightly to the W and was erected here in 1778 according to the inscription on its base, while local tradition maintains that the cross was found at the foreshore of Donegal Bay c. 300m to N (Wakeman 1896, 299). Archaeological testing (00E0486) in the vicinity failed to recover any archaeological features (Halpin 2002), as did testing (03E0504) c. 50m to the SE across the road (Timoney 2006), or immediately (05E0502) to the NE (Timoney 2008). (Crawford 1907, 213 14; O'Connell 1937, 208-10) Described by Harbison (1992, vol. 1, 178) as 'A tall, ringless and undecorated cross, with straight arms but an expanding upper limb and a shaft tapering near the top, was uncovered by a sandstorm on the coast at Tullaghan and subsequently erected to the north of the new Sligo Bundoran road. It is about 4.25m high.’ 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. See the attached view _1 Date of revised upload: 13 February 2017

• LE001-031002 Burial
  Description

  The meager remains of at least one adult and two children, probably post medieval in date, were found at a depth of c. 2m, and c. 30m to N of the cross (LE001-031001-) in 1997 (SMR file), but the exact location is not known.

• LE001-032 Castle - tower house
  Description

  On top of a prominent rise in an undulating landscape and in a position to guard the ESE-WNW Drowse River, c. 1-1.5km to the E, and the gap (L c. 5.5km) between Lough Melvin and Donegal Bay. This is a castle of the McClancys, probably a tower house and bawn, where Cahir Mac Flannchadha, heir to William McClancy and the chieftainship of Dartry, died in 1538 (AFM, vol. 5, 1449). A gable with an arched doorway survived into the 19th century (Lewis 1837, 2, 537). It is now a rectangular grass-covered platform (dims 28m E-W; 17m N-S) defined by a collapsed wall (Wth 2m; H 0.45m generally to 2.25m at S) around the perimeter. The remains of a rectangular structure form a mound (dims 5.9m N-S; 9.5m E-W; H 1.95m), probably the tower house, at the NE angle. No wall-facing or architectural features are visible. (McDermott 2019, 106) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).
