In the heart of the plateau between #Glencar and #Glenade valleys sits a late #Neolithic/early #BronzeAge settlement. Hut sites, field walls, cairns, a wedge tomb, and enclosures. A remarkable site, I couldn’t resist a visit while looking for sweathouses.

The 3rd Sweathouse research excavation of 2022 uncovered stepping stones leading up to the entrance. The flagstones on the floor inside extend out to the opening. More info to follow. All work was funded by @RIAdawson and @leitrimcoco Enjoy #HeritageWeek2022 #Archaeology
In August a probable levelled Sweathouse was excavated south of Mohill. The location turned out to be a corn drying kiln, a big one, hidden in a field for centuries (very near to a Sweathouse mapped in 1837. Thanks to @RIAdawson @leitrimcoco and landowner #HeritageWeek2022

The volunteers from Mountain Meitheal were out in force again this weekend, building more trail for our route using sheep wool and locally sourced stone. Thanks so much to these amazing volunteers.
