Recorded monuments

• SL013-030 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Situated on slight E-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. This monument has been largely removed and is very low in profile. Remains comprise a slightly raised, roughly oval, area (dims. 32m E-W; 20m N-S) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.2m; int. H 0.3m). There is no trace of a fosse visible at ground level. The original entrance to the site is not recognisable. Most of the enclosing bank consists of limestone rubble. From NE-SE the bank has been incorporated into a drystone field wall. At the base of this wall is a series of large limestone boulders that are also occasionally visible in the bank SW-NW. The interior of the site slopes gently facing SE.

• SL013-070 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on slight NE-facing slope, on low rise, in gently undulating pasture. The site has been largely removed by quarrying. Remains comprise a raised oval area (dims. 29m E-W; 22m N-S) enclosed by a bank of earth (Wth 4.2m; int. H 0.4m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. From W-N-E-SE and the bank is absent and the defining element is a scarp (H 0.3m-0.6m). Two gaps in the scarped edge at NNW and NE (each Wth 5m) are modern. The original entrance is not recognisable. A large, roughly rectangular, flat bottomed quarry hole (dims. 15m NW-SE; 10m NE-SW; D 1.4m) now extends across the NE side of the interior. A smaller, roughly circular, quarry (diam. 4m; D 0.4m) lies in the interior 2m to the SE of the large quarry. Compiled by: Mark Keegan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL013-126 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, located on a low, level elevation in gently undulating terrain. Immediately to N the ground falls away, giving excellent views to NE across Ballysadare Bay, prominently framed by Ben Bulben and Knocknarae. Ground rises very gradually to S. This circular enclosure (diam. c. 64m) is defined by a levelled scarp, probably originally a bank, which has been modified or truncated by linear field boundaries at SW and NW. The eastern arc of the enclosure can be traced at N−SSW as low, grass-covered undulation/scarp (ext. H 0.3-0.55m). Two large boulders (max. dim. c. 2m)lie on the line of the undulation at NE. The western arc of the enclosure has been modified: At SSW−W it is defined by a linear, sod-covered bank (Wth 1.6-2m), with a pronounced inward-facing scarp (H 0.6-0.8m) incorporating large stones and boulders. This bank may be a remnant of the original enclosing bank, but its linear nature suggests modification in the modern era to serve as a field boundary. At NW the enclosing bank is truncated by a NE−SW drystone field wall which coincides with the townland boundary between Fallathurteen and Carrrowreagh. This field wall is linear in form, except for a short section at NNW which respects the curve of the enclosure. The enclosing scarp/undulation is lowest at E, possibly the site of the original entrance. There is a gentle drop in ground level in the SE quadrant bordered by a low broadly sloping scarp. A drystone field wall, on a WNW−ESE axis, bisects the interior to NE of centre. Relict cultivation ridges are visible in the interior and in the surrounding fields. There is a wedge tomb (SL013-028----) 335m to NE, a castle (SL013-029002-) and bawn (SL013-029003-) incorporated into a rath (SL013-029001-) 300m to ENE, and another enclosure (SL013-030----) 275m to E.
