• SL019-051 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a low rise in undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 25m) enclosed from NNW-N-SSE by a degraded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth. 2m - 3.4m; H 0.5m). From SSE-S-SW the bank was incorporated into a field boundary which has been levelled. From SW-W-NNW the perimeter and portion of the internal area have been destroyed as a consequence of the construction of a NNE-SSW roadway. No fosse. Original entrance not recognisable.

• SL019-052 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a N-S ridge in pasture. Depicted on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a large approximately oval-shaped enclosure (c. 85m E-W; c. 65m N-S). The site has been levelled and visible at ground level. There is a rath (SL019-053----) c. 65m to N and another rath (SL019-056001-) c. 130m to ENE. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL019-053 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a low rise on a N-S ridge in pasture. Raised subcircular area (dims. 55m NE-SW; 51m E-W) enclosed from SW-N-NNE by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth. 5m; H 1.2m). This has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary from SSE-S-SW. Elsewhere the defining element is a scarp (H 1.2m). Against the base of the outer face of the bank at NW is a short length of drystone walling which is probably a relatively modern feature. At the outer foot of the bank from SW-N-NNE is a fosse (Wth. 5m; D 0.95m). Breaks in banks at N, E, and NW. The latter (Wth. 1.6m) has an accompanying causeway and may mark the original entrance. The internal ground level is uneven. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL019-054 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a low rise in undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. c. 25m) defined from NE-E-SW by a scarp (H 1m).

From S-SSW-SW the platform is edged by a series of low stones (Wth. 0.4m - 0.8m). The scarp has been incorporated into a NW-SE field boundary from NNW-N-ENE. A NNE-SSW roadway skirts the site from SW-W-NNW and a NNE-SSW field boundary abutts the site from ENE-E-ESE. Original entrance not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.

• SL019-119 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  Situated on a low rise in undulating pasture. Depicted on all editions of the OS 6-inch map as a small circular enclosure at the SSW side of the Sligo-Ballina road. A NNE-SSW field boundary is shown adjacent to the E side of the site. An earlier field report (SMR (1989) file 1994) described a poorly defined area of raised ground outlined by an irregular scarp (max. H 0.4m) extending in an arc from S-SSW-SW. The remainder of the site was occupied by an animal pen. The site has since been levelled and there are no remains now visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F.

• SL019-206 Burnt mound
  Description

  In pasture, situated within a naturally-occurring depression of wet ground, bordered at S by a N-facing escarpment, and 15m to N by a low knoll upon which a rath (SL019-055----) is sited. The S shoreline of Ballisadare Bay is c.100m to N. A field drain (Wth 1.4m) curves in a shallow arc SE-N through the wet hollow. Along the S arc of the drain, a layer (L 14m; T 0.4-0.6m) of shattered stones within a charcoal-rich matrix is exposed in section at a depth of 0.4m-0.5m beneath present ground level. The layer is clearly visible in the N section face of the drain but only intermittently in the S section face. It overlies orange and pale grey subsoil layers. An animal bone was visible in dark-brown sandy soil at a level 0.15m above the burnt layer in the N section. There is a short interruption to the layer at its W end, at the point where the drain begins to curve to the N, but burnt material (L 8m) is again visible in both section faces where the drain extends to N. In the W section face a shallow dip in the surface of the burnt stone layer is filled with a grey, slightly greasy deposit (L 1m; T 0.15m) which is partly overlain by a lens of oyster shell (L 1m; T 0.15m). No trace of a mound is evident at surface level in the field but upcast from the drain, incorporating burnt mound material, has been spread on either side of the drain and heaped on top of the field fence that borders the W side of the drain.
