  Description

  On the E shore of Lough Arrow, at the mouth of Loughbrick Bay. Inspection was difficult due to dense overgrowth. An oval area (c. 25m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) defined S-NE by a stony bank, NE-E by a low stony rise (Wth 1.1m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.4m); elsewhere the enclosing element is obscured by overgrowth. The bank is most substantial (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 1.1m) at S and WNW-NNE. From SW-W, adjacent to the lake, the bank is reduced to a low stony scarp (H 0.6m) topped by a slight internal stony rim. A broad fosse-like depression (Wth 8m; D 0.9m) outside the bank N-E, continuing E-ESE as an inward-facing scarp (H c. 0.9m), appears to be the result of relatively recent quarrying into the gently rising ground immediately to E and SE. A shallow depression (Wth c. 2m) is visible outside the bank at S. The level interior is bisected by a NE-SW field boundary wall NW of centre. The NW quadrant is firm and dry underfoot but much of the rest of the interior, especially the NE quadrant, is very damp and marked by a dense growth of irises and reeds. 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).

• SL041-042 Enclosure
  Description

  On a SE facing slope, on the shore of Lough Arrow. Indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as an oval enclosure (50m NW-SE x 40m NE-SW) defined by a hauchured band N-SE and by the shoreline elsewhere. The area is under mature coniferous forest and the enclosure was not located. It still survives intact as is evident from an OSi aerial photograph flown in 2000 (E. Byrnes pers com.). 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). In this instance the entry has been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Revised by: Paul Walsh Date of upload/revision: 24 May 2007
