Description
Situated on level summit of low hillock, in gently undulating pasture, to N of centre. Three limestone roof lintels (Total L 3m), located to N of centre on the summit of the hillock, are visible covering what appears to be a NW-SE orientated passage. The passage is partially blocked with rubble stone and access is impossible. The sides of the passage are lined with rubble stone walling. The souterrain has been dug into a midden (SL013-088002-) (pers. comm. M. A. Timoney). Compiled by: Mark Keegan, Paul Walsh Date of upload: 24 February 2014

- SL014-076001 Megalithic tomb - passage tomb
Description
Located on the summit of Knocknarae Mountain, which is flanked to N by Sligo Bay and to SW by Ballysadare Bay. It is 85m N of the massive cairn/passage tomb (SL014-076003-), known as Maeve’s Cairn. Indicated as ‘Carn’ on the OS 6-inch map. A circular cairn (diam. 10-12m; H 1m) encloses a cruciform tomb built of orthostats or upright slabs. The tomb consists of a passage, with entrance at SE, which leads to a tripartite chamber. The chamber and the passage are greatly ruined and roofless; only nine orthostats of limestone and gneiss remain in situ. The limestone cairn is low, reaching only to the top of the orthostats; it has been suggested that it may never have covered the top of the chamber (Bergh 1995, 237). The cairn is encircled at a distance of c. 5m by a concentric bank (diam. 30m; Wth 4.5m; H 0.6m) of limestone. The tomb appears to have been one of several monuments on Knocknarae which were disturbed/’investigated’ in the early 1800’s by Richard Chamber Walker, a local landowner and antiquarian; Wood-Martin (1895, 660 ) recorded that burnt human and animal bones and small round unperforated beads [possibly stone] were found. (Bergh 1995, 87-8; 236-7, site 1). This is a National Monument (No. 153) in state ownership.

- SL014-138 Midden
Description
Situated on cliff-edge slope on E side of Ballysadare Bay, on inspection in 1991, this was found to consist of a compacted shell-midden consisting mainly of oysters but with a mixture of other shells (19m NW-SE by 5m E-W and up to 5m deep). At the E the midden was covered by the modern road and was formerly covered by a stone-built retaining wall. Part of this wall and the upper 1m of the midden was leveled in 1991. The exposed section of the midden contained two thin lenses of charcoal (c. 1m long), the probable remnants of hearths. These lenses were covered by 0.5m of shells suggesting that they were in use during the formation of the midden. Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 5 August 2015
