Recorded monuments

• LE023-004 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located in an undulating low-lying landscape. This is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a 'fort'. This is a grass-covered subcircular area (diam. 28.5m NW-SE) defined by a low earthen bank (Wth 2m; H 0.2m) with some bushes NE-E, which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.35m) elsewhere, with an outer band of reeds (Wth 10m). The perimeter has been levelled at S and the spoil added to the interior at N. The interior also contains a long hollow (L 7m; Wth 1.8m; D 0.2m) which may be a collapsed souterrain although no stones are visible. 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

• LE023-025 Crannog
  Description

  Around1939 when an ESB sluice was inserted into the Shannon at the point where it leaves Lough Allen at Bellantra Bridge, about 10 neat circular or oval mounds of stone came to light in Derrintober townland (Faughnan 1944, No. 147). About eight possible crannogs were also noted on the Roscommon side, and Holly Island, named only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map, is described in a pencil notation as a crannog on the NMI set of 1835 OS 6-inch maps. A circular grass and reed-covered area (diam. c. 25m) rises above the water (H 1.5m). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 19 December, 2016
