The National Monuments Service's description
Reported (28-9-2021) by Mr Aidan Harte, Project Co-ordinator, Leitrim Sweathouse Project. Named ‘Sweat House’ on the Cassini edition of the OS 6-inch map, but not recorded on the earlier, first edition (c.1835).
Abutting the outer edge of the poorly preserved enclosing wall of a cashel (LE003-016001-) at E. A rectangular area (L 2.4m E-W; Wth 1.4m) is defined by large, low (H0.67m) earthfast boulders and slabs, with a possible entrance at E.
A small, roofless structure – possibly a farm outbuilding or a very small dwelling (also recorded on the Cassini edition of the OS 6-inch map) - stands c.10m to the S.
See attached image: LE003-016003-_1 View from east with grassed-over cashel (LE003-016001-) enclosing wall behind, taken on 10-8-2021.
