• SL021-017 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In poor pasture, on the top of a NW-facing slope of a ridge and immediately S of a townland boundary. A raised oval area (17.5m N-S; 29m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.4m) along the E arc and by a scarp (H 0.7m) elsewhere. The rath is overgrown with hazel and hawthorn bushes. 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).

• SL021-033 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough, rushy pasture, on the top of a high ridge at a break of slope on the E side with extensive views N-S. An oval platform (c. 30m N-S; c. 20m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth c. 5m; int. H c. 0.5m; ext. H 1.75m) SW-N and by a scarp (H c. 2m) elsewhere. An external fosse (Wth 5m) evident SSW-NNW is broad, deep and flat-bottomed. It is bordered on its outer edge by a substantial townland and field boundary (Wth 3m; int. H 1.7m; ext. H 1m) that continues beyond the enclosure to NW and SE but may preserve the line of an outer bank. Elsewhere the fosse is a slight depression (Wth 4-5m) of soft, wet ground. From NE-SE the ridge slope falls away abruptly from its outer edge. The entrance (Wth 0.7m) is at ENE, partially faced with large stones. Stones are also visible protruding from the external face of the bank in this area. The rath is ringed with hazel and the interior, which appears to slope down gently to E, is engulfed in a thicket of impenetrable blackthorn bushes. The townland boundary between Mullaghfin and Toberanania skirts the rath S-NNW. 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).

The entrance (Wth 3.5m) is at E with an out-turned bank forming short linear entrance passage (L 5.4m E-W). A shallow depression (5m N-S) was noted just inside a gap in the bank at S. Another rath (SL021-035----) lies c. 110m 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).

A level rectangular platform (L 24m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 1.7m) extends from the external side of the bank at S. Another rath (SL021-034----) lies c. 110m to SW.

• SL021-037 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  In rough pasture, at the base of a S-facing slope. A small concave hollow (c. 2m across) scarped into the base of the slope, and bordered by a N-S field boundary at E, appears to mark the site of the well. It is engulfed in brambles and recent field-clearance activity has disturbed the surrounding ground. There is no evidence of recent veneration at this well. It was described during a previous site inspection in 1992 as a rectangular stone-lined well (Wth c. 0.2m; D 0.3m) covered with overgrowth (SMR (1989) file).

The NE quadrant of the rath is covered with overgrowth. The interior is level. A NNW-SSE field boundary crosses the E edge of the rath.
