Recorded monuments

• LE018-048 Prehistoric site - lithic scatter
  Description

  Located at the N end of the W shore of Lough Allen. During 1968 when water levels were low, G. F. Mitchell and P. Healy collected worked chert, including Bann flakes, struck flakes, a small core and debitage from the lake shore (Mitchell 1970, 7-8). In March 2015 Karl Brady of the Underwater Archaeology Unit discovered a chert blade in close proximity to a newly discovered logboat at Drummans Lower on Lough Allen. The discovery of the chert blade could be related to the lithic scatter recorded by Healy and Mitchell in the late 1960s (pers. comm. Karl Brady 28/08/2018).
