Recorded monuments

• SL033-140001 Church
  Description

  In pasture, at the foot of an E-facing slope, 150m SW of the Owenmore River. The roofless ruin of a rectangular church (ext. 21.5m E-W; 7.65m N-S), built of roughly coursed limestone blocks bonded by a lime mortar, with a low base-batter. A vaulted tower formerly stood at the W end but this has collapsed and its walls are reduced to the height of the side-walls and are in a very fragmentary condition. The church was entered through a doorway, W of the centre in the S wall, which has fallen, apart from its rear segmental arch and a drawbar-socket on the E side. Just inside it, on the W side, was a crossing-wall of which only a fragment survives. A large pile of rubble occupies the W end of the interior. The entire E gable is structurally unsound. Its central window is missing its tracery, which has recently fallen; fragments of the latter lie on the ground nearby. The light appears to have had two round sub-arches with switchline tracery above (MacDonagh n.d., vol. 18, 36). Above the light is a hood-moulding with stepped terminals. Near the E end of both the N and S walls are broken openings which may have held windows. This is the ruin of the late medieval parish church of Cloonoghill, which is probably on the site of a 6th-century monastery (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 377). There is no evident trace of the associated graveyard (SL033-140002-). There is a fish-pond (SL033-140004-) 30m to the SE and a dovecote (SL033-140003-) 40m to the WSW. 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).

• SL033-140002 Graveyard
  Description

  In 1836 it was noted that there were traces of an 'Old Burying Ground' around Ballynaglogh church (SL033-140001-) (OSNB vol. 1, 226). In the 1930s it was recorded that burials had taken place here within the past hundred years but the graveyard had then been cleared away to make a garden for the Taaffe family; bones and tombstones were occasionally unearthed (MacDonagh n.d., vol. 18, 35-6). No visible remains of it are evident at ground level. 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). Date of upload: 18 January 2008

• SL033-140003 Dovecote
  Description

  On a steep E-facing slope, in an area of unused ground between a drystone field boundary and a recently erected farm building (5m to S). A rectangular gable-ended structure (4.2m NE-SW; 3.95m NW-SE; wall T 0.7m) built of uncoursed limestone rubble in lime mortar. A ground-floor doorway, at the SE end of the NE wall, gives access to a barrel-vaulted chamber without windows. There is a small lintelled ope in the SE wall at first-floor level; access to this area was not gained but at least four tiers of nesting-boxes are visible. Projecting from the centre of the NW wall is a flat stone directly above which is a small opening in the wall; this must have been the entry point for pigeons accessing the loft. This structure is presumably associated with Ballynaglogh church (SL033-140001-) 40m to the ENE. 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).

• SL033-140004 Fish-pond
  Description

  In pasture, at the foot of a NE-facing slope, c. 180m SW of the Owenmore River. An almost circular area (18.6m NW-SE; 18.2m NE-SW), slightly set into the upslope on the SW side, enclosed by a low broad earthen bank (Wth c. 1.85m; int. H c. 0.35m, ext. H c. 0.55m). Short sections of drystone facing survive on both faces of the bank. The interior is level and under grass with rushes growing in the E third. At the centre is an oval dome-shaped sod-covered mound (base: c. 5.8m N-S; c. 5.4m E-W; H c. 1.2m). There is a rough break in the bank on the W side (Wth c. 6m) where it blends into the upslope. The remains of a probable leat (Wth c. 6m), which extend E from the E side along the foot of the slope, are defined by an upscarp on the S side (H c. 2m) and by an earthen bank on the N side (Wth c. 4m; H c. 1m). Presumably associated with Ballynaglogh church (SL033-140001-) 30m to the 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).

• SL033-142 Moated site
  Description

  On level pasture, on the W bank of the Owenmore River. A raised rectangular area (23m N-S; 10m E-W) defined by the river on the E side and by a scarp (H 0.6m) with a fosse (Wth 6.5m; D 0.5m) and an outer earthen bank (Wth 3m; ext. H 0.3m) on the S, W and N sides. A possible leat is visible in an aerial photograph (IASAP, 3037081) feeding into the fosse on the S side. 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).

• SL033-201 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  In pasture, on the N-facing slope of a slight rise with extensive views to N, E and W. A circular grass-covered cairn (diam. 7m; H 0.8m) of medium-sized stones, possibly the remains of a field-clearance cairn (pers. comm. M. Keane and J. Farrelly). A rath (SL033-139----) lies c. 70m 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).

• SL039-008 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a prominence, in undulating pasture. A raised oval area (int. diam. 24m N-S; 33.5m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.1m; int. H 1.25m; ext. H 2m). Some stone was noted in the bank, which is best preserved along the S arc. The entrance (Wth 3m) is at W with the remains of an external ramp. The interior rises into a dome-shaped knoll. 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).
