• SL040-051 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on top of a ridge overlooking Lough Arrow to W. A circular area (int. diam. 28.6m) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.75m; ext. H 1m). Part of the bank was removed at SE and the area was planted with coniferous trees. The arc of an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.75m; ext. H 0.75m), concentric with the bank of the rath, forms a long narrow internal division (L 22m; Wth 7.7m) in S end of interior. A field boundary wall crosses the E edge of the interior on NNE-SSW axis. There is a cashel (SL040-052----) c. 100m to SW. 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).

• SL040-052 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In pasture, occupying a shelf on the SW-facing slope of a high ridge. There are good views to W and SW over lowland pasture bordering Lough Arrow. A circular area (c. 24m NW-SE; c. 23m NE-SW) defined N-SSE by a stone bank and S-NNW by a curving scarp (H 1.5m) coinciding with the break of slope at the terrace edge. The perimeter is densely ringed with hazel, ash, hawthorn and brambles, impeding inspection, and clumps of brambles obscure much of the level interior. Where the bank can be seen at ENE and SE it appears as a concentration of stones (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 0.7m) incorporating large slabs and boulders with much stone tumble obscuring the internal and external faces. At S the bank appears to be more compact (Wth 2m). There is a possible entrance (Wth 2.5m) at SE, partially blocked with stones. The natural slope below the cashel has been quarried away to a high vertical face. A rath (SL040-051----) lies c. 100m upslope to NE. 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).

• SL040-053 Quarry
  Description

  Listed in the SMR (1989) and classified as 'Enclosure Possible'. Not marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Its inclusion in the SMR is based upon cartographic evidence (the 1914 edition of the OS 6-inch map). Upon inspection in 1993 no remains of an enclosure was identified here. However there was evidence for of quarrying into the slope of the drumlin. Re-examination of the 1914 map revealed that what is indicated is in fact an area of quarrying.

• SL040-057 Sweathouse
  Description

  Listed in both the SMR (1989) and RMP (1995) and classified 'Sweathouse'. On a slight rise, just above the E shore of Lough Arrow. There are no visible remains of this sweathouse. It is likely that this is post-1700 AD in date. Compiled by: Archaeological Survey Unit, UCC Date of upload: 06 January 2012
