  Description

  A 'Cave', probably a souterrain, is marked within Cashelgarran cashel (SL005-115001-) on the 1912 edition of the OS 6-inch map. No remains of this feature were identified at ground level. A fieldworker who inspected the cashel in 1991 recorded that it was densely overgrown and inaccessible (SMR file). That is still the case. It may be for this reason that the souterrain was not located. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 29 April 2013

• SL005-118001 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise on the summit of a NW-SE orientated ridge in a mature coniferous forest clearing. Raised circular area (dims. 23.5m E-W; 23m N-S) enclosed by an internal rubble limestone wall (Wth 3.6m; int. H 1.75m). Immediately outside the wall is a level berm (Wth 3.25m) and a rubble limestone bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.4m) with an external fosse (Wth 6.3m; D 0.4m). The inner face of the internal wall has been entirely rebuilt and it extends 1-1.2m above the level of the surviving original wall and the original external basal facing of large thick slabs and blocks laid flat survives on all sides. A vertically backed recess (Wth base 1.1m; Wth top 2m; D 0.5m) at ESE in the internal face may be original. From SW-NW the external stone bank and the fosse are absent and the site is defined by a scarped edge (ext. H 1.4m). A break (Wth 1.9m) in the internal wall with a corresponding break (Wth 2m) in the external bank and a stone causeway (Wth 2.3m) across the fosse marks the position of the original entrance. A modern NW-SE orientated field wall lies on the W side of the site crossing the external stone bank at external fosse at SW and at NW. Relic field walls link to the external face of the external stone bank at NNE and at SSE and a relic field wall lies along the SW side of the entrance causeway, extending across the berm and linking to the external face of the internal wall at SE. The remains of a souterrain (SL005-118002-) are located to N and NW of centre in the interior. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011

The second part is located 1m within the inner cashel wall on the NW side of the interior and consists of a slight depression with a lintelled entrance (Wth 0.5m; H 0.2m) on the NW side. A passage with stone lined walls and roof extends in a NW direction from this entrance. It is now inaccessible. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011

  Description

  A fieldworker who visited this location in 1991 recorded it thus: 'Next to Sligo-Bundoran road. Destroyed site consisting of a quantity of grass-covered rubble. Two lengths of stoney bank or ruined wall survive, these meet at almost a right angle with a gap between. These banks contain a number of upright boulders.' (SMR file). There are no remains of this potential monument now visible. However at the location indicated a small circular enclosure is visible from aerial photographic coverage (Ortho_ITM).
