• SL039-029 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on top of a drumlin. Indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as an oval area (c. 40m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) defined by a bank and fosse W-NE and by a scarp elsewhere with an E-W field boundary crossing the interior and a N-S field boundary truncating the NE perimeter. Remains consist of two arcs of earthen banks (inner bank: int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.7m; outer bank: int. H 1.4m; ext. H 1.05m) with an intervening fosse (Wth 5.9m) W-NE. The S half of the rath has been levelled. The entrance (Wth 1.8m inner bank; Wth 1.9m outer bank) is at 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).

• SL039-136 Crannog
  Description

  In a wet meadow on the SW edge of Feenagh Lough. A circular low-mound crannog (22m N-S; 22m E-W; H 1.37m above the ground). A mid-mound (4.2m N-S; 4.5m E-W) is located off-centre to W and surrounded by a plateau (7.3m N-S; 3m E-W) that is most distinct to the N and S. The plateau is surrounded by a berm (c. 12m wide along the E arc, narrowing to 2.5m at W), that drops off to a distinct edge. This crannog was excavated by A. Mahr in the 1920s (NMI) but the results of the excavation were never published. On the berm at NE is a hollow (diam. c. 6m) possibly resulting from the excavation. The crannog is overgrown with grass which contrasts in colour with that of the surroundings. At least three dug-out canoes have been found along the S side of the lake (pers. comm. M. A. Timoney). 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).
