Recorded monuments

• SL025-085 Mound
  Description

  In gently undulating pasture. A linear sod-covered mound (7.5m NW-SE; 3.5m NE-SW; H 0.55m) incorporating some irregularly shaped stones. Though named 'Giants Grave' on the 1914 OS 6-inch map there is insufficient evidence to classify it as a megalithic structure (Ó Nualláin 1989, 98, no. 20). There is an enclosure (SL025-086----) c. 80m to SE. 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).

• SL025-086 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, on a low rise. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 15m) and on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a raised rectangular area bounded on the NW and NE sides by field boundaries. Now evident as a roughly square platform (c. 20m NW-SE; c. 19m NE-SW; H 1m) bounded on the NW and NE sides by field boundaries and densely overgrown with bushes. Traces of a drystone revetment are evident on the SW side. A large portion (Wth c. 10m) of the interior on the SW side has been quarried away to a depth of c. 1m and a small section of the platform has been levelled on the SE side close to the E corner. A miscellaneous mound (SL025-085----) lies c. 80m to NW. 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).

• SL032-005 Megalithic tomb - court tomb
  Description

  On level pasture S of the Ox Mountains. The monument is very ruined and difficult to interpret. A fence extends along its N side. A chamber (L 2.7m) opening to the NW seems to be the rear of a gallery. Two jambs and an intervening sillstone mark the front of the chamber. One stone is in place on its more southerly side and a prostrate stone at the opposite side may be a fallen orthostat. A large inward-leaning stone forms the back of the chamber. A considerable number of stones extend for some 8m forward of the chamber. Most of these do not appear to be in situ but two of them, both tall stones now leaning, and c. 2m apart, stand more or less opposite each other about 4m from the front of the chamber. There are some traces of mound at this end of the structure. (Ó Nualláin 1989, 61, no. 97) 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).

• SL032-006 Milling complex
  Description

  This is listed as an 'enclosure' in the SMR (1989) based on cartographic evidence from the 1914 OS 6-inch map. The semicircular curving line indicated on that map is a wide, modern (i.e. constructed within the last couple of hundred years) drainage trench with a pathway beside and this appears to be the remains of a mill race that led to the 'Old Mill' indicated and named on the OS 1st ed. 6-inch map (surveyed 1837).
