• SL034-170 Enclosure
  Description

  On the N-facing slope of a ridge. An oval area (52m N-S; 64m E-W) terraced into the hillslope with the N portion up to c. 1.8m above and the S portion up to c. 2.2m below the external ground level. The interior is enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1m) along the E and W arcs and by a scarp elsewhere; remains of external stone facing is visible along the N arc. The interior slopes down to N; there is a level platform (c. 12m N-S; l0m E-W) in the S half, close to the bank and bounded on the E side by an earthen bank (Wth 1.4m; H 0.5m). The NE quadrant of the interior is bounded by a right-angled 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).

• SL040-001 Quarry
  Description

  Listed in the SMR (1989) and classified as Pit(s). On the NE-facing slope of Kesh Corann. Numerous quarry pits (dims.10-20m; D 0.5-1m) of varying size, shape and depth are dug into the lower slopes of Keshcorran. These were identified from aerial photographs (GSIAP, G 220-19) but upon inspection in 2001 appear to be of relatively recent date.

• SL040-003001 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  In pasture, on an upland terrace on the lower NE-facing slopes of Kesh Corann Hill. A large mound (20m N-S; 16m E-W), the centre of which has been quarried leaving a rim (H 3m) around a central irregular hollow (diam. 10m). A break at E gives access to the grassed-over quarry pit. The mound appears to be primarily earthen in composition but incorporates some stone. A slight depression NE-SE may indicate a silted-up fosse (Wth 4m). At E, a low berm-like feature between the fosse and the mound may be due to the disturbance of the mound as it is located in the area of the access gap into the quarry pit. A field boundary skirts the base of the mound at W. A circular enclosure (SL040-003002-) lies 2m to N and a rath (SL040-004----) c. 40m to S. 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).

• SL040-003002 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, on an upland terrace on the lower NE-facing slopes of Kesh Corann hill. A slightly raised roughly circular area (20m N-S; 19.3m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank NNW-SSW. A straight N-S field boundary with a field drain on its E side slightly truncates the W edge of the interior. The bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.85m) is compact with an inverted V-shaped profile. There are several low or eroded sections and there is a gap (Wth 2m) at SE. Traces of cultivation ridges are evident in the N half of the interior. There is a barrow (SL040-003001-) 2m to S and a rath (SL040-004----) c. 40m to S.

• SL040-004 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In a grassy clearing in a coniferous plantation, on the gentle SSE-facing slope of Kesh Corann. A slightly raised subcircular area (c. 21m N-S; 18m E-W) defined NE-SE by slight rise and SE-SW by a broadly slumped scarp (H 0.7m). Elsewhere the enclosing element is less obvious and at N it appears to be truncated by a forestry trench. The interior slopes gently down to S and is covered in rough grass and bisected by several E-W forestry drills. Trees are planted right up to the edge of the enclosure. An external fosse (Wth 2.3m; D 0.3m), noted along the E arc in 1993 (SMR (1989) file), is no longer evident. There is a barrow (SL040-003001-) and a circular enclosure (SL040-003002-) c. 40m to N. A hut site (SL040-005----) lies c. 50m to W.

• SL040-005 Hut site
  Description

  On a grassy terrace, on the steep E-facing slope of Kesh Corann. A barely perceptible circular area (6m N-S; 6m E-W) defined by a slight rim (Wth c. 2m; H 0.4m). The interior appears slightly sunken as the hut site is cut into the rising ground on the W side. A rath (SL040-004----) lies c. 50m to E at the base of the slope.

• SL040-006001 Megalithic tomb - passage tomb
  Description

  (In the Carrowkeel-Kesh Corann passage tomb cemetery). On a spur on the northern slopes of Kesh Corann and commanding an extensive outlook to the N. A NE-facing passage tomb (L 5m) stands towards the N end of a ruined circular cairn (diam. 19m; H c. 0.5m). Some kerbstones at the W side of the cairn and one or two possible examples at the E indicate an original diameter of c. 15m. Eight orthostats form the more easterly side of the tomb. There are four, possibly five, in situ at the opposite side and it is closed by a substantial backstone. An in-turn of the more easterly side divides the tomb into an inner (L 3m; max. Wth 1.5m) and outer (L 2m) compartment. A large roofstone (max. dim. 2.5m) is in place above the inner compartment. A much smaller stone wedged between the forward end of the last and the more westerly side of the tomb may be a displaced roofstone. A large slab (max. dim. 2.1m) leans against the outer face of the more westerly side of the outer compartment and would seem to be a displaced roofstone. Ten or more relatively small slabs lie displaced at the site. In 1993 a small pocket of cremated bone, apparently a secondary deposition, found near the kerb was later identified as the remains of one adult (Buckley and Mount 1994, 71). An enclosure (SL040-00602-) lies immediately to S.

• SL040-006002 Enclosure
  Description

  On the N end of a spur of Kesh Corann and immediately S of a passage tomb (SL040-006001-). A roughly D-shaped area (26.5m N-S; 29m E-W) enclosed by remnants of a stone wall (Wth 2m; H 0.3m) which survives as low sod-covered hummocks from which large stones protrude. The wall can be traced in a broad curve WNW-S and at N it merges with the sod-covered base of the passage tomb cairn, appearing to post-date the cairn. A natural rocky scarp defines the straight W side of the enclosure. The enclosure encompasses most of the level ground on the top of the spur.

• SL040-006004 Hut site
  Description

  On a rocky spur on the lower NE-facing slopes of Kesh Corann and immediately W of Poulagaddy cave (SL040-006003-). A subcircular area (5m E-W; 4.8m N-S) defined by a 'wall' of single contiguous moss-covered stones. This 'wall' is best defined S-NW but there are breaks at N and SE. The interior slopes gently down to NW. A subrectangular arrangement (c. 6m E-W; c. 5m N-S) of mostly widely spaced stones, sharing its W side with the hut site, was noted immediately to the E, surrounding the entrance to the cave. 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).

• SL040-220 House - 18th/19th century
  Description

  Not included in the SMR (1989) but listed in the RMP (1995) and classified 'House'. Not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. In upland boggy and rocky pasture, at the base of the NE-facing slope of Kesh Corann. The remains of a rectangular two-roomed structure (long-axis N-S) with sod-covered stone walls (T 2.1m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.7m). Both the southern room (7.9m N-S; 3.2m E-W) and the northern room (3.05m N-S; 3.1m E-W) are filled with collapsed stones. A garden area (7.8m x 7m) to S is enclosed by an earthen bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.5m). An enclosure (SL040-003----) is c. 50m to E. This is likely to be post-1700 AD in date.
