Recorded monuments

• SL034-005 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  In pasture, on top of a low ridge with excellent views in all directions. The barrow was densely covered with overgrowth and waterlogged when inspected. The remains consist of a slightly curved section of earthen bank (L 11m; H 1.5m; Wth 1.9m at top, 4m at base; long axis WSW-ENE). A possible fosse (Wth 6m at top; D 0.7m) is parallel to the bank on the N side. To the S of the bank is a circular hollow (diam. 12m; D 0.6m), probably due to recent quarrying. During a previous site inspection in 1987, the remains of field boundaries projecting at right angles from the ends of the bank were noted (SMR (1989) file). A trigonometrical station was indicated here on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. There is a rath (SL034-004----) c. 50m to N. 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).
