Recorded monuments

• SL005-069 Barrow - bowl-barrow
  Description

  Situated on a broad gently-sloping hill on slight S-facing slope in pasture. Circular flat-topped mound ( diam. top 3m; diam. base 18m) of earth and rubble stone defined by a steep scarped edge (ext. H 4.35m) with an external fosse (Wth 8m; D 0.1m). The fosse is visible as enclosing the central mound SW-N. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011

• SL005-070 Earthwork
  Description

  Situated on a slight W-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Approximately three-quarters of the enclosure have been removed and the remainder disturbed by modern drainage channels. Roughly wedge-shaped raised area (dims. c.15m N-S; c.20m E-W) defined by modern field boundaries and drainage channels. The platform is defined by a curving drainage channel SE-NW and by a linear E-W orientated field boundary bank NW-NE and by a linear N-S orientated drainage channel NE-SE. Original entrance not recognisable. The interior is raised c.1.7m above external ground level and is slightly domed in profile. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011

  In gently undulating pasture. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Visible as a roughly circular area (diam. c.25m) in an aerial photograph (ACP V204/91-2). No surface remains. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011

• SL005-166 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  Situated on level summit of a broad rise in gently undulating pasture. Circular area (diam. 14m) defined by a scarp (ext. H 0.2m) with a fosse (Wth 5.3m) and an external bank of earth (Wth 6m; int. H 0.4m). An E-W orientated field boundary bank of earth and stone crosses the site at SW and at SE. The scarped edge, the fosse and the external bank are absent to the S of this boundary.

  Description

  Situated on gently sloping pasture with Ben Bulben on the skyline to SE. Standing stone (L 0.75m x 0.35m; H 0.95m) aligned NW - SE.
