Recorded monuments

• LE032-048 Stoup (present location)
  Description

  Outside the Roman Catholic church of St Mary at Eslin, which was built in 1844, are two stone stoups. One is a rounded bowl (ext. diam. 0.4m; int. diam. 0.35m; H 0.15m; D 0.09m) on a pedestal. The other is a circular bowl (int. diam. 0.43m; D 0.15m) set into the ground outside the church door. The original find-spot is not known with certainty but they may have come from an earlier Roman Catholic church at Cavan, represented on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map c. 400m to the SE, on the E side of the public road, the site of which is still extant.

• LE032-112 Sweathouse
  Description

  Reported (5-10-2021) by Mr Aidan Harte, Project Co-ordinator, Leitrim Sweathouse Project. In pasture, on the gentle SW facing slope of a low, N-S ridge, c. 75m E of the Eslin River. The landowner recalled that his father (who came here in 1902) did not know what the structure was but thought it was probably a lime-kiln and later filled it in for safety reasons. He also remembers harriers dug it to get a fox out in the late 1950s. A Schools Manuscripts Collection reference (Volume 0215, Page 244) confirms a sweathouse in the townland but a precise location was not recorded: ‘In the town-land of Cavan there… Near the edge of this mound is a building of the finest type of its size and it is thought to be a sweat house.’ All that is visible is a poorly defined, grass covered hollow (Dims. 2.8m N-S; 2m E-W) with some earthfast stone evident on the downslope side.

• LE032-113 Mound
  Description

  Reported (5-10-2021) by Mr Aidan Harte, Project Co-ordinator, Leitrim Sweathouse Project. On the crest of a low, N-S pasture ridge c.90m E of the S-flowing Eslin River. Not recorded by the OS. A low (H 0.7m) grass-covered circular area (diam. 12m) is defined by large stones. The landowner recalled that, in snow, a straight line is visible extending NE from the monument. An entry in the Schools Manuscripts Collection (Vol. 0215, p. 244) records: ‘In the town-land of Cavan there is a mound or a Cairn and it is believed that there are either treasures or urn's containing human remains buried there.’ See attached images: LE032-113----_1 Snip from digitalglobe aerial imagery (scale: 1:1000, accessed 15-9-2022) and LE032-113----_2 View from S along the E edge of monument on 10/08/2021.
