- LE017-008 Ritual site - holy well
Description
Situated in the valley of a small W-E stream on the N bank and probably at a point E of where a small NW-SE stream joins it. Tober Beoaid is listed amongst the holy places of north Leitrim in a seventeenth century manuscript (Mooney 1946, 67), and it was still frequented in the nineteenth century (O’ Flanagan 1929, 134). It was associated with St Beoaidh of Ardcarn, Co. Roscommon (RO006-103002-) (Ó Riain 2011, 103). The well might still be extant, although it was not recognised in 1991.

- LE017-009 Burial ground
Description
Situated on rock outcrop in a fairly level landscape overlooking a W-E stream c. 10m to the S. This is a D-shaped area (max. dims 70m E-W; 28m N-S) defined by an intermittently visible masonry wall at S, where there is an E-W road, and elsewhere by a scarp and outer drain or slight fosse. It contains 19th- and 20th-century graves and was called 'Achadh Leachaigh' in the 19th century (O'Flanagan 1929, 134), but no church is known to have been associated with it. The site of 'Tobar Bheo Aogha' or 'Tobar Buay' (LE017-008----) lies c. 75m to the W. 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
