• SL038-021 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On top of a rise. A raised oval area (39m N-S; 48m E-W) enclosed by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.3m) SE-N with numerous breaks. A 3m wide strip of boggy ground on the external side of the bank along the W arc may indicate a silted-up fosse. The interior is level. Farm buildings lie immediately to 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).

• SL038-022 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on an E-facing slope. A circular area (25m N-S; 27m E-W) enclosed by the remains of two earthen banks with an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 3.2m; int. H 1m: ext. H 0.75m) has a gap at S. The outer bank (Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.5m) and the flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 4.6m) are evident ESE-NNW. The W portion of the interior is cut into the hillslope and the E portion is raised 1.55m to compensate for the slope, though it still retains a steep slope down to E. Bushes grow on the perimeter of the rath.

• SL038-065001 Castle - tower house
  Description

  In a marshy area, covered in rushes, on the SE bank of the Bunnanaddan river. Fragmentary remains of a rectangular structure (int. dims. 11m NE-SW; 5.95m NW-SE) stand in the centre of a slightly raised roughly D-shaped area (22m SW-NE; 25m SE-NW) noticeably drier than the surrounding terrain. Parts of the outside face of a battered masonry wall survive at the N, W and S corners (max. H 3.3m; Wth c. 1.9m) of the rectangular structure. A central gap on the NE side may indicate the doorway position. The interior is now c. 1m above the level of the outside ground, probably due to the accumulation of fallen masonry. The arc of a fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.1m) is evident at the edge of the raised area on the S side and the arc of a second fosse (Wth 7m) is evident E-SE, 13m outside the edge of the raised area. Field boundaries abut the edge of the raised area to NE and E. A silted-up tailrace (SL038-065003-), associated with a 19th-century corn mill to NE, skirts the edge of the raised area at N. Recorded in 1836 as 'Cáislean Bhun na Neadáin' (OSL, 171); Lewis (1837, vol. 1, 380) credits its building to the MacDonaghs.

• SL038-065002 Enclosure
  Description

  In a marshy area, covered in rushes, on the SE bank of the Bunnanaddan river. Fragmentary remains of a rectangular tower house (SL038-065001-) stand in the centre of a slightly raised roughly D-shaped area (22m SW-NE; 25m SE-NW) noticeably drier than the surrounding terrain. The arc of a fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.1m) is evident at the edge of the raised area on the S side and the arc of a second fosse (Wth 7m) is evident E-SE, 13m outside the edge of the raised area. Field boundaries abut the edge of the raised area to NE and E. A silted-up tailrace (SL038-065003-), associated with a 19th-century corn mill to NE, skirts the edge of the raised area at N.

• SL038-065003 Mill - corn
  Description

  Not included in the SMR (1989). Listed in the RMP (1995) and classified 'Mill Race'. In a marshy area, covered in rushes, on the SE bank of the Bunnanaddan river. Fragmentary remains of a tower house stand in the centre of a slightly raised roughly D-shaped area (22m SW-NE; 25m SE-NW) noticeably drier than the surrounding terrain. The arc of a fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.1m) is evident at the edge of the raised area on the S side and the arc of a second fosse (Wth 7m) is evident E-SE, 13m outside the edge of the raised area. Field boundaries abut the edge of the raised area to NE and E. A silted-up tailrace (Wth 5m), possibly associated with a 19th-century corn mill to NE, skirts the edge of the raised area at N. It can be traced north-eastwards for c. 100m. The millrace is likely to be post 1700 AD in date and is noted under the record for the tower house (SL038-065001-).
