• SL019-129001 Moated site
  Description

  Situated in marshy pasture, at the N end of a narrow valley, at the base of the E-facing slope of a ridge. Raised rectangular area (27.6m E-W; 23.8m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 1.3m). At the foot of the scarp is a well defined fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.3-0.6m) which has been incorporated into a modern N-S drain on the W side. At the outer lip of the fosse on the N and S sides are the remnants of an outer bank (Wth c. 5m). In the centre of the E side is a causeway across the fosse (Wth 4.6m) which links the site to a small hillock which overlooks the site. Immediately inside the entrance is a shallow hollow (max. dim. c. 4m; D 0.3m) of uncertain significance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL019-130 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on an eminence at the NW edge of a N-S ridge. Raised circular area (diam. 23m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth. 5m; int. H 0.3m) except at E where the defining element is a steep scarp (H 1.7m). At the outer foot of the bank and scarp from SSW-W-NNW is a space (Wth. 2m) and a second bank (Wth. 3.8m; int. H 0.7m). At the outer foot of the second bank is a second space (Wth. 3m) and the levelled remains of a third bank (Wth. 1.7m; ext. H 0.65m) which may be the last remnants of a later field boundary. At NNW this bank merges with a field boundary which curves around the site from NNW-N-ENE and which marks the boundary between Lismacbryan and Carrowkeel townlands. From SE-SSE-S the two outer spaces and banks have been destroyed by quarrying. Original entrance not recognisable. A low ENE-WSW field wall bisects the internal area. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL019-131 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a rise in undulating pasture. Depicted on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map map as a oval-shaped enclosure at the meeting place of three townlands. From N-S-SSW is the boundary between Carrowkeel and Lugbaun. From SSW-W-N is the boundary between Carrowkeel and Lismacbryan. Remains comprise an oval-shaped subcircular area (dims. 25m NE-SW; 23.5m NW-SE) defined from ENE-S-SSW by a modern field boundary which marks the boundary between Carrowkeel and Lugbaun townlands. Elsewhere the defining element is a tumbled heap of stones (Wth. 3m) which probably represents the remains of a collapsed field wall rather than an original cashel wall. No fosse. Original entrance not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL019-154 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  Situated on the narrow E-side of a N-S ridge in pasture. Slightly raised circular area (9.5m NE-SW; 8.3m NW-SE) enclosed by a low, sod-covered stoney bank (Wth c. 2.6-4.5m; H 0.4-0.8m) with a broad internal slump which may incorporate some field clearance debris. The remains of a square enclosure (SL019-024001-) are 20m to S. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL019-154001 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, situated on the narrow E side of a N-S ridge. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Located 20m S of a possible barrow (SL019-154----). Squarish enclosure (27.6m E-W: 27.5m E-W) defined on N and W sides by linear field walls and at E and S by a low broadly curving scarp (H 0.8m) roughly faced at irregular intervals by stones. Immediately outside the scarp is a terrace (Wth 3-5m) with a scarped edge (H 0.5-1.2m) which was incorporated into a field wall, part of which still survives and is marked on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Within the interior is a slight U-shaped rise (diam. 8m). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL019-156 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a small, level terrace bordered at W by a narrow stream gully. Slightly raised circular area (c.16m E-W; 14m N-S) defined from NW-N-NE by a scarp (H 0.75m - 1.5m). At E the scarp is almost vertical and is faced with large boulders two courses high, possibly a later addition. At S the defining element is a series of boulders and large stones.

• SL019-227 Burnt mound
  Description

  Situated at the base of a W-facing slope of a ridge which borders a tract of flat, wet pasture. The mound is evident as a slight semi-circular rise (c. 12m N-S; c. 9m E-W) in ground level bordering the W side of a N-S field drain (Wth. 1.6m; D 1m). A layer (L 11.4m; D 0.6-0.8m) of burnt stone and charcoal is exposed in section in both faces of the drain. In the E section it is clear that the mound material is accumulated against the slope of the ridge. There is a possible burnt mound (SL019-228----) c. 100m to SE.
