Recorded monuments

• SL027-114 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough pasture, on top of a ridge. This rath has been levelled and the remains consist of a raised circular area (diam. 25m) enclosed by a low grass-covered earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1m). A dense growth of rushes may indicate the line of an external fosse. A N-S field boundary truncated the edge of the bank on the E arc. A gap (Wth 4m) in the E arc is partially obscured by a field boundary. 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).

• SL027-115 Enclosure
  Description

  On top of a hill, in a mature coniferous forest. A raised oval area (c. 25m NW-SE; 20m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1.5m) with a low internal rim. The bank is incorporated into a field boundary NW-SE and faced with stone. There is a break (Wth c. 2m) in the bank at S. Trees have been planted to within in a few metres of the perimeter, making access and inspection difficult. The interior, though not planted with trees, is choked with an impenetrable thicket of blackthorn bushes and brambles. 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).
