Recorded monuments

• SL033-159 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In undulating pasture, on a slight NW-facing slope. This rath has been levelled and no enclosing element is now visible at ground level. It was described during a previous inspection in 1992 (SMR (1989) file) as the remains of a rath (18m N-S; 16m E-W), with an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.6m), the N portion raised to compensate for the hillslope. The entrance (Wth 3m) with a ramp was in the N arc. A portion of a field boundary indicated to W of the rath on the 1941 OS 6-inch map survives as a gorse-covered earthen bank. 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).

• SL033-160 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In reclaimed pasture, near the top of the W-facing slope of a drumlin. A raised circular area (diam. c. 40m) defined by a scarp (H 0.8m at E, 1.2m at W). The W edge of the interior is crossed by a N-S field boundary. On the W side of this field boundary some of the scarp has been removed by quarrying. 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).

• SL033-161 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on the SW-facing slope of a drumlin. A raised roughly circular area (20m N-S; 21m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 1.65m; ext. H 0.5m) N-E and by a scarp (H 0.4-1.75m) elsewhere. An external fosse (D 0.6m) is evident N-E; elsewhere the line of the fosse is marked by 4m wide band of dark-coloured grass. Due to the natural slope, external ground level is higher than the level of the interior NE-ESE. The SW portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope though it still retains a slight slope down to SW. The interior is clear of overgrowth. A field boundary indicated to N on the 1941 OS 6-inch map has been removed. 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).
