The National Monuments Service's description
On pasture with the E-W Bradóg River c. 100m to the N. There is a record from the 1940s of a limestone block (dims c. 0.65m x c. 0.7m) with one basin (diam. c. 0.35m) (SMR file), which cannot be located now, and its exact location was not known. It is probably associated with Tobar Patrick Well (DG110-005002-) at Dunmuckrum, Co. Donegal, c. 120m to the N (Lacy 1983, 303).
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.
