• SL027-173 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  On a flat marshy floodplain, on the N bank of the Arrow or Unshin River. A low subcircular mound abutting the riverbank at S and enclosed SW-SE by two fosses with intervening and external banks, all of which peter out at SW and SE before reaching the riverbank. The broadly slumped mound (14m N-S; c. 12m E-W; H 0.5m at S, 0.8m at N) is poorly preserved with a rather flattened top. Its E edge is damaged or partially levelled. Around the base of the mound is the innermost fosse (Wth 4.5m) which is silted up and marked by a dense growth of rushes. Outside this fosse is the intervening bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.5m) which is in turn surrounded by another fosse (Wth 4.8m) evident as a broad wet depression marked by rushes. The external bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.5m) is evident as a broad low flattened grass-covered rise, except SW-W where it has been removed. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
