Recorded monuments

• SL026-058 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on top of a ridge with extensive views. A slightly raised circular area (30m N-S; 28.5m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1m). The scarp is well preserved N-S where it serves as a property division and it is topped with a post and wire fence. Elsewhere the scarp is degraded and gapped and lined with hawthorn bushes. The presence of a fosse may be indicated SW-NW by a band (Wth c. 2m) of particularly wet ground in an area that is generally damp and boggy. The interior is mostly level but it dips close to the scarp at SW-W. 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).

• SL026-097 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, encompassing a low natural rise on a gentle NW-facing slope with good views in all directions. A subcircular area (39m N-S; 36m E-W) enclosed SE-NW by an earthen bank (Wth 2.7m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 1.3m) with a low internal lip, and by curving field boundary (Wth 2m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.1m) NNW-SE. The bank at S and W appears to be linear. There is a break (Wth 2.3m) in the bank at SE. Outside the bank SW-NW, coinciding with a natural break of slope, is a terrace (Wth 1.5m) defined on the outer edge by a broadly sloping scarp (H 0.7m). The scarp falls to a strip of flat wet ground that may incorporate a fosse (Wth c. 2-2.5m). The damp ground is bordered to W by a road flanked by field walls but from NW-NNW there is a slight rise (Wth 2.5-3m) which may be the remnant of an outer bank. The interior has a gently domed profile; from a central N-S spine (c. 10m E-W) of level elevated ground it slopes down to the perimeter at SW-W and more markedly at NE-E. Two small heaps of stones (diam. c. 2m; H 0.4m) were noted in the E half of the interior. The perimeter is thickly ringed with hawthorn and ash trees. Another rath (SL026-058----) is visible to NE. 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).
