The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated as a sweat house only on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map c. 100m NW of a house. It is located at the bottom of a S-facing slope in a little E-W fold on the N side of Glenfarne valley with a small N-S stream c. 30m to the W. No feature is visible at ground level.
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.
