Archaeology Notes

"A green mote stood on the banks of the River Loth, which the gentleman who now owns Lothbeg ordered to be dug up. There appeared a subterranean dwelling, surrounded on the outside with large flat stones, which seem to have made part of the wall; the rubbish was cleared away, and the stones left in the same situation as they were found."
