• LE036-042 Cross - Wayside cross
  Description

  Situated on top of a drumlin and c. just SW of a road from Cloone to Ballinamuck, Co. Longfort. A sandstone slab (dims 0.34 x 0.12m; H 0.78m) aligned N-S has a latin cross (H 0.34m; span 0.2m) in false relief with expanded terminals on its E face. The arms of the cross are deeply cut (Wth 5cm; D 1.5cm), and field stones are gathered around the base of the slab. It may be 17th or 18th-century in date. It is also thought to have been a mass-rock (IFC: Schools’ Collection, vol. 0222, 523-4, 569; Ó Cléirigh and Kelleher 1991, 134). See the attached view _1 The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).

• LE036-049 Kiln - corn-drying
  Description

  Reported (28-9-2021) by Mr Aidan Harte, Project Co-ordinator, Leitrim Sweathouse Project. Depicted and named ‘Sweat Ho.’ on the first edition (c.1835) of the O.S. 6-inch map where it is shown on the E-edge of a farm lane c. 16m SE of a dwelling house and separated from the dwelling by small outbuildings. A limekiln is also shown c. 15m to the NE of the sweathouse. Not recorded on the later, Cassini edition of the map. Situated in pasture at the top of a short, SW-facing slope. Although no visible surface trace survives, local tradition continues to identify the location along with a recollection that the sweathouse was accessed through a ‘tunnel’ The site was subsequently excavated under archaeological excavation licence number 22E0389 by Mr. Harte and was found to be a corn-drying kiln which comprised a well-preserved stone-lined bowl or chamber (int. diam. 2.9m; H 1.28m) with a lintelled flue (H 0.53m; W 0.45m) extending W (L 3m) from the base. Organic material found included timbers at the base, and the kiln had been filled with clay and stones. The excavated area was backfilled to original ground level.
