• LE031-101 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Located at the bottom of a W-facing slope and on the line of the N4 road. An area of broken and burnt sandstone (dims 10m E-W; 7m plus N-S; mas. T 0.35m) that had been cut by two E-W covered drains was excavated (94E0097) in advance of roadworks, and a wood-lined trough (dims 1.85m x 1m; D 0.45m) was revealed at its centre. The trough had a layer of silty sand with charcoal at the bottom (max. T 0.45m) overlain by burnt mound material. At the W end of the trough a layer of organic material (T 0.1-0.15m) separated the two layers. The wooden lining was noted around most of its sides. Some animal bone was recovered in the vicinity together with a flint flake. (Opie 1995g) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J.

  Description

  Located towards the top of a NW-facing slope in improved pasture. It was first identified by Susan Curran as part of an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 22m E-W; 20m N-S) defined by the slight remains of an earthen bank (at NE: Wth of base 6m; Wth of top 2.1m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.15m) NW-E-SW which merges into a N-S field bank at W. A fosse (at NE: Wth of top 5.9m; Wth of base 1.9m; D 0.2m) is traceable NW-N-SE (upslope). A limestone rock (L 0.7m NE-SW; Wth 0.45m NW-SE; H 0.35m) is earthfast, off-centre to the E, but an original entrance cannot be identified. Rath (LE031-110----) is c. 35m to the E, and rath (LE031-053----) is c. 65m to the N. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 11 May, 2015
