Recorded monuments

• SL021-052 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Straddling the NE-facing slope of a low rise, bordering flat marshy ground to NNW and undulating rising ground E-SW. A slightly raised oval area (27m NE-SW; 18.5m NW-SE) defined by a degraded irregular scarp (H 0.7m) with a slight internal lip SW-NW. A shallow intervening fosse (Wth at base 2m) is evident NE-N, is deepest S-SW and visible as a cropmark NW-N. A low flat-topped outer earth and stone bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.3m) is evident NE-W. The entrance is at NE, where the scarp is very low and there is hint of a causeway across the fosse. The interior has an uneven undulating surface. In the SE quadrant there is a very slightly raised U-shaped area (c. 8m E-W; c. 6m N-S) defined N-SE by a slight stony scarp (H 0.3m). An earthwork (SL021-119----) lies c. 50m to WNW. 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).

• SL021-053 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In low-lying pasture, on a rise at the base of a W-facing slope. A roughly circular area (diam. 25.5m N-S) defined by a slight scarp NW-E and by an earth and stone bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.7m) E-SW. The W edge of the rath is truncated by a N-S field boundary and there is a wide gap in the bank at SE.

• SL027-018 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a slight rise, in undulating poorly drained pasture; the ground rises slightly immediately to N. A circular area (diam. 23m) defined by remains of an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.9m) N-E and S-W; the bank is levelled elsewhere. The NE portion is cut into the hillslope. At NE two short 'arms' of bank, 3.2m apart, protrude into the interior, possibly the result of some disturbance. The interior is slightly concave.

• SL027-181 Enclosure
  Description

  Located on terrace on an E-facing terrace on a ridge in sharply undulating terrain. Ground rises to W, restricting views, and falls away to E to flat, damp ground. This enclosure is not indicated on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps; it is visible in aerial imagery. It was levelled at an unknown date in the past, but the ephemeral outline of a roughly circular area (diam. c. 28m) can still be traced at ground level, crossed roughly centrally by a N−S field fence/property boundary. To W of the field fence, a slight curving scarp (Wth slope 3.5-3.8m; ext. H 0.6m) can be traced on the SW arc, petering out at NW to an area of irregular N-sloping ground. To E of the fence, the NE arc can be traced as a levelled scarp (Wth slope c. 4m; ext. H 0.5m) following a natural contour, which becomes increasingly indistinct on the SE arc. There is a rath (SL027-003----) 180m to ESE and a wedge tomb (SL021-054----) 260m to NNW. Notified to NMS by Jean-Charles Caillère.
