• RO028-052002 House - 16th/17th century
  Description

  In a slight col with hills to the NW and SE. Land at Sleaveen that had been owned by Dermot O'Conor in 1641 was transferred to Garret Dillon under the Cromwellian settlement (Simington 1949, 49). Described as a rectangular earthwork (dims c. 15m NE-SW; c. 8m NW-SE) defined by banks (H c. 3m) situated at the N corner of a rectangular enclosure (dims c. 27m NE-SW; c. 20m NW-SE) (Knox 1911, 327-8). It is described locally as a masonry structure with walls (T c. 1.2m) but apparently no vaulting which was built by Dillons and which was removed c. 1975. It was within field system (RO028-052001-) and was probably a house of the late 16th or early 17th century. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 26th September 2011

• RO028-052003 Field system
  Description

  In a slight col with hills to the NW and SE. Land at Sleaveen that had been owned by Dermot O'Conor in 1641 was transferred to Garret Dillon under the Cromwellian settlement (Simington 1949, 49). Field banks covering an area of about 36 acres (c. 15 ha) that are visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP: M, 82-3) have been removed, apart from an area of about 7 acres (c. 3 ha) NW of the NE-SW Tulsk - Castleplunket road where rectangular fields (dims c. 25-50m x c. 100m) defined by low scarps survive. The house (RO028-052002-) is within the area where the field system has been removed. Archaeological testing (03E0428; 03E0697) within the area S of the public road during 2003 failed to produce any related material (Carey 2006; Read 2006g).
