No designated site (Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Natural Heritage Area or proposed one) touches the townland of Barnaslingan.
Recorded monuments
- DU026-057 Enclosure
Description
This enclosure is situated in improved pasture on a SE-facing slope with dramatic views of the Sugarloaf Mountain to the S. It was shown on the 1843 OS 6-inch map as a large circular enclosure (diam. c. 60m) with an internal division. By 1975 this site had been removed (Healy 1975, 1-19) but a possible section of the enclosing bank may be incorporated into a field boundary which skirts the northern boundary of the site. This appears as a kink in the field boundary. Archaeological test excavation took place on this site in 2002 and a backfillled fosse was revealed (Byrne 2004, 181). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy. Revised upload on: 21 April 2018.
