Situated on a low rise in undulating pasture. Circular platform (diam. 25.5m), enclosed by a low earthen bank (Wth 1.6m at W, 2.4m at E; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 0.4m at W, 0.8m at E) with evidence for internal and external stone kerbing. The external slope of the bank is enhanced, especially at N (H 1.6m), by the natural slope of the rise.

- SL016-018 House - fortified house
Description
Situated a short distance NE of Enniscrone village. Early 17th century rectangular fortified house (c. 14m E-W; 8.05m N-S ; Wall T 0.95m) constructed upon a artifically constructed subrectangular platform (c. 50m E-W; c. 30m N-S; H 1.5-1.8m) on a naturally-occurring E-W ridge. The structure is two storeys in height with attics. There are identical, circular projecting towers (diam. 4.25m; Wall T 0.63) at the NW and SW angles. An early 19th century plan of the site (OS Letters 1836, 292 (118-9)) shows projecting, circular towers at the remaining angles but these, the E wall and the E end of the S wall have since been destroyed. The entrance (Wth 1.35m), with drawbar sockets still intact, is in the centre of the N wall. On either side of the entrance are plain, rectangular, flat-headed windows. At ground floor level in the S wall are 3 similar windows. Only the W portion of that at the E end has survived. At first floor level in the N and S walls, above those at ground floor level, are similar windows. In the W wall, which contains a massive chimney with a rectangular base, there are large fireplaces at ground and first floor levels. That at ground floor level has a small oven built into its S side. Both surviving towers contain three small, rectangular flat-headed windows and four narrow gun loops at both ground and first floor levels. The original castle, of which there are no remains surviving, was constructed in 1560 by the Mhic Fhirbhisigh family which supplied hereditary poets and historians to the O'Dowds of Tireragh (Killanin and Duignan 1989 ed., 205). In 1597 Fearadach and Cormac MacDonnell sold it to John Crofton. Crofton subsequently sold it to Thomas Nolan of Ballinrobe whose son was living there in 1642. In 1641 it was commandeered and garrisioned by the Irish. In 1642 it was the scene of a skirmish between the crown forces and a local militia. In 1645 it was captured by the Cromwellian army. After the end of the war it became the property of Sir Thomas Gore.

Description
Situated at the NE edge of a NE-SW ridge at the SE side of Enniscrone village, overlooking Killala Bay. Raised circular platform (diam. 28m) enclosed by a wide earthen bank (Wth 4.5m at NE, 6.3m at SW; int. H 0.6m at NE, 0.85m at SW; ext. H 2.15m at NE, 2.75m at SW). Outside the bank at W–NW there is a shallow depression (Wth c. 2m) which may indicate an enclosing fosse. There is a break (Wth 1.4m) at W but it is not clear if this is an original entrance. Within the NE part of the enclosed area is a low, irregularly-shaped raised area (13.5m E-W; 11.5m N-S; H 0.3-0.6m) of uncertain function and antiquity. Compiled by: Patrick F.

- SL016-091 Burial
Description
In January 2011 ancient human skeletal remains were found lying on a rocky shoreline, c. 60m S of Cahermore cliff-edge fort (SL016-001001-). The discovery was reported to the Gardaí, and subsequently to the National Museum of Ireland, who carried out an excavation on 17th January 2011 to record and retrieve the remains (Halpin 2011). The burial was located on or within a sloping ramp-like deposit of silty, stony soil, which was partly covered with storm beach deposit, large limestone blocks, and broken slabs of concrete, which had been dumped on the shore in recent years. The extended skeleton was oriented on a NE-SW axis, with the head to the SW. The skull was missing, except for a fragment of mandible (jaw), and the left arm and most of the legs were also missing. No trace of a grave cut or structure was found: The excavator received the impression that the body was placed on a stony, silty deposit and then covered with further stones (Halpin 2011). Osteological analysis of the bones determined that the skeleton was that of a man, 35-45 years at the time of death, approximately 170cm (5 feet 7 inches) in height during life. He had endured poor dental health, including calculus build-up and periodontitis. Evidence of dental enamel hypoplasia indicated that he might have suffered an illness or period of malnutrition during childhood. He also had low-grade osteoarthritis in the left hip and an os acromiale lesion in the left shoulder blade, both conditions suggesting wear and tear of the bones due to a relatively active lifestyle. Periosteal reactions noted in the left ankle may reflect an injury or possibly an instance of infectious disease, which was still active at the time of the man’s death (Keating 2011).
