• SL034-186001 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  In wet marshy pasture, at the base of the ENE-facing slope of a ridge and to the rear of a disused creamery at Castlebaldwin. The most northerly of three adjacent holy wells, with Tober Murry (SL034-186002-) c. 12m to SE and Tober Patrick (SL034-186003-) c. 15m to SE. A moss-covered stone retaining wall is built into the slope with a lintelled ope (H 0.2m; Wth 0.5m) at its base through which water flows out toward Tobar Murry. It was mentioned in 1836 as 'Tobar Bhríghde...over which three trees grow' (OSL, 157). Also in 1836 there was a local memory of 'stations' at the well (OSNB vol. 1, 351). Prof. R. A. S. Macalister (d. 1950), in an undated report, recorded the story that when a great ash tree which grew at the wells was blown down it was said that the sign of the cross was found 'rudely branded in the fractured section of the wood' (SMR (1989) file). 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).

• SL034-261 Burnt mound
  Description

  This possible burnt mound was discovered during archaeological testing for the N4 Collooney to Castlebaldwin Road Project under Ministerial Direction A071 (E005036). Three discrete patches of black charcoal-rich silty clay with frequent heat-shattered sandstone were uncovered in close proximity to each other in a test trench. The deposits (max. dim. 1.5-4m) were 2.5-3m distant from each other, and a modern drain lay between two of the deposits. These remains probably represent a damaged or levelled burnt mound.
