Recorded monuments

• SL039-026 Barrow - bowl-barrow
  Description

  In pasture, on the top of a drumlin, with a view of Kesh Corann Hill in the distance to ESE. A circular mound (11.45m N-S; 10.75m E-W; H 1.75m), flat on top (diam. 3m) and enclosed at its base by a wide waterlogged fosse (Wth 4.1m; D 0.4m). There is a berm (Wth 1.25m) at the base of the mound S-N. The remains of a field boundary skirt the fosse along the N arc. The barrow is partially overgrown with gorse. Farrelly and Keane (2002, 100) noted similarities between this barrow and the stepped barrow (SL038-120001-) at Kilturra. 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).

• SL039-027 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on the S-facing slope of a drumlin. An oval area (int. diam. 20.8m N-S; c. 25m NE-SW) enclosed by the remains of an earthen bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.35m) which is mostly removed along the W arc. The bank is incorporated into a field boundary N-E. An external fosse (Wth 2.6m; D 0.2m) is evident all round except on the N arc where it is infilled. The entrance (Wth 1.5m) is at S with a causeway across the fosse. The interior slopes down to S even though the S portion is raised to compensate for the hillslope.
