The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a low-lying landscape c. 100m W of the N-S River Rinn. Part of the W gable (surviving L 4.4m; T 1.6m; H c. 6m) of a two storey house survives with the ground-floor fireplace Wth c. 1.45m; D 1.35m) and what might have been an oven beside it. Two flues combine with the flues of two fireplaces at the first floor. Traditionally the building is associated with Boyle Abbey, Co. Roscommon (Blaney 1944, file no. 129), and it may have been the Police Barracks that was here in 1835 (OS 6-inch map. It is not possible to date it closely, but it may be seventeenth-century in date.
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.
