• SL014-065006 Castle - Anglo-Norman masonry castle
  Description

  The following details have been extracted from the introductory essay in Gallagher and Legg (2012) to which the reader is referred for further information: ‘There is no evidence of substantial habitation [at Sligo], however, until the 1240s when the AngloNorman baron Maurice Fitzgerald, a member of the Kildare Geraldines, constructed a castle in order to control the roads, the bridge and access from the sea. Fitzgerald had been granted large tracts of land in upper Connacht after 1235 and his prime focus was to secure the crossing over the Garvoge and to encourage economic development on his manor of Sligo. It is possible that he replaced the existing wooden bridge with a stone one. Sligo Castle immediately overlooked and secured the bridge, and the two were intimately connected. Fitzgerald used it as a base from which to attack the territory of the O’Donnells to the north in Tír Conaill.’ ‘The repeated destruction and reconstruction of Sligo Castle is symptomatic of the fact that its possession was contested between various Gaelic and Anglo-Norman families. Following a period of dispute between two AngloNorman families, the castle was handed over to Richard de Burgo; he also obtained the manor of Sligo in 1299 as part of a settlement with the Fitzgeralds, who then left Sligo for good. The castle was substantially rebuilt by de Burgo, then lord of Connacht, and may have incorporated remnants of the earlier one built by Maurice Fitzgerald. The location of successive castles at Sligo was a small rise overlooking the harbour, bridge and town in what is now Quay Street, on the site of the nineteenth-century Town Hall.’ ‘By the end of the fourteenth century the O’Connors emerged as keepers of Sligo Castle.’ ‘When Sligo was visited by Sir Henry Sidney, lord deputy of Ireland, in 1566 he noted that the castle was ‘fair and the greatest of any that we have seen in an Irishman’s possession’.’ ‘By 1584 Sir Richard Bingham, in his capacity of chief commissioner of Connacht and Thomond, had reduced the power of the O’Connors Sligo and had fortified the castle with crown forces. A map from 1587 clearly shows a castle with four towers defending the river at Sligo. The importance of the crown’s possession of the castle was re-emphasised in 1588 when the Spanish Armada was blown north from the English Channel and came down the north-west coast of Ireland. William Taaffe was made sheriff of Co. Sligo and took charge of the castle that same year. Bingham reported to the lord deputy that, before leaving, O’Donnell had ‘much broken’ Sligo Castle and the priory. At the end of the year, it was decided that the castle should be restored by the former rebels, ‘nine principal gentlemen of Galway and Roscommon’, and in 1589 it was remitted to Donough O’Connor. Sligo was considered the key to Connacht and, by placing a strong garrison there, it was believed that the crown might pacify Connacht and prevent O’Donnell from returning to the province. A contemporary map of the Sligo area from 1589 shows a roughly sketched castellated structure with two towers, which may be an illustration of the old castle. In June 1595 a cousin of Bingham’s was murdered in the castle and a rebel, Ulick Burke, the first earl of Clanricard, handed it over to O’Donnell. Following Bingham’s attempt to retake the castle, O’Donnell demolished it ‘so that he did not leave a stone of it on a stone, for fear the English might take it without his knowledge’. In 1596, however, Donough O’Connor was given custody of the castle and he endeavoured to rebuild it, although he had meagre resources. Three years later John Baxter issued a declaration concerning the rebuilding of Sligo Castle. In all likelihood the castle was in an extremely ruinous state and untenable. It was described as being ‘in ruins’ and the town burnt in 1602 and there is no sign of it on Baxter’s map of c. 1600.’ ‘In the late 1650s there were also large numbers of soldiers garrisoned in the town and another quadrilateral fort, known later as the Stone Fort, was built on the site of the old de Burgo castle to accommodate them.' (see SL014-065007-). (Gallagher and Legg 2012, 1-3, 14). Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 15 February 2018

• SL014-065007 Bastioned fort
  Description

  Built on the site of the existing de Burgo caslte (SL014-065006-) this bastioned fort was constructed in the late 1650s to house a garrison. It is referred to as the ‘new fort’ in 1659 and again in 1663, although it appears that it was not then properly finished since the bastions were left hollow. When completed, the Stone Fort comprised high stone curtain walls, flanked by four corner bastions. Phillips’s view of c. 1685 shows a substantial castellated structure with the four bastions rising above the adjoining curtain walls. Repaired at the time of the Williamite War in 1689 part of the site was leased to the Crown for use as a barracks in 1700. It was damaged by storm in 1757 and described as the ‘Old fort leased’ in 1781. Part of it was converted to stores in 1800 and the site was purchased by the corporation in 1861. It was partly demolished when Quay Street was widened in 1861 and a Town Hall was constructed on the site in 1865. Remains this fort were uncovered in the course of excavations undertaken on the site in 2002 (licence number 02E0651; Halpin 2002). (Gallagher and Legg 2012, 3, 14).

• SL014-065008 Religious house - Dominican friars
  Description

  Located on the S bank of the River Garavogue, c. 500m from the river estuary, in Sligo Town, in the townland of Abbeyquarter North. Sligo Dominican friary is a National Monument in State ownership (no. 189). It was established in 1252 by Maurice Fitz Gerald, 2nd Lord Offaly, for the Dominican Friars, and dedicated to the Holy Cross. The Annals of Loch Cé record for the year 1253: ‘A monastery was erected and a cemetery consecrated for the Friars Preachers at Sligech’ (Hennessy 1871, 403). Having taken part in the conquest of Connacht in 1235, Fitz Gerald built a castle (SL014-065006-) in 1245 and established the settlement that would become the town of Sligo. Like most mendicant foundations, the Sligo friars benefitted from both Anglo-Norman and Gaelic Irish patronage. The Annals of the Four Masters record that the friary was destroyed in 1414, following a fire started by a candle, but was rebuilt two years later in 1416 ‘by Friar Brian, son of Dermot MacDonough’ (O’Donovan 1856, 817 & 825). An inducement to fund the rebuild was offered by Pope John XXIII in a papal bull issued in 1415, granting an indulgence to penitents who ‘on the feast of the Assumption of St. Mary the Virgin, and on that of St. Patrick the Confessor, visit the church and give alms for the repair of it and the house of the Friars Preachers of Sligo (Scligie)...whose said church and house, in which were lately twenty friars, have been recently burned.’ (Cal. Papal Letters, vol. 6, 484). Irish lords buried in the friary include Tigernan, son of Ualgarc Ua Ruairc, king of Breifni, in 1418 (MacCarthy 1895, 75), and Brian MacDonough, Lord of Tirrerrill, in 1454 (Coleman 1902, 98). After the Dissolution of monasteries, the O’Conor Sligo, patrons of the friars, pleaded with Queen Elizabeth for the friary to be preserved, and in 1568 she agreed, as she was assured that the friars had become secular priests. An inquisition in 1585 lists among the possessions of the friary, a fishing weir and a quarter of land called the Fryer quarter (Coleman 1902, 98), the boundaries of which survive in the townlands of Abbeyquarter North and Abbeyquarter South, to the S and E of the friary. In 1595 Richard Bingham, Governor of Connacht, took up quarters in the friary, and stripped out its timber fittings to construct siege engines with which to attack Sligo castle, then held by Red Hugh O’Donnell’s men. James I granted the friary and its lands to Wm. Taaffe, who had been appointed sheriff of Co. Sligo in 1588. A single friar remained at this stage, but in 1608 Father Daniel O’Crean arrived from Spain to establish a new Dominican community in Sligo; by 1622 there were ten friars, and in 1627 a Provincial Chapter was held. However, in the course of the war of 1641, Colonel Sir Frederick Hamilton marched on Sligo, burned the friary and killed the friars. The Dominican community later reformed, and there were five friars in Sligo in 1703 (Coleman 1902, 99-100). In 1865 a new Dominican convent was completed, situated on Dominick Street, just a short walk from the remains of the medieval friary. The remains of the friary include a nave and chancel church, with central tower, part of the south lateral aisle and the transept or chapel; and to N of the church, the cloister, the E range, and part of the N range. The chancel and nave retains some of their original 13th-century character, but most of the other standing buildings and structures, such as the tower, S aisle and chapel, the cloister, and the domestic ranges, are 15th century or later in date, many probably dating to the phase of reconstruction that followed the 1414 fire. The abbey is noteworthy for the rare survival of the 15th-century sculpted high altar, the rood screen and the reader’s desk; also for its very fine cloister, several striking decorative and figurative carvings that enliven the grey stones of the buildings, as well as a number of fine 16th- and 17th-century funerary monuments. The buildings are constructed of roughly coursed limestone rubble masonry, apart from the nave arcade and tower pillars, which are of dressed limestone blocks. In the church, the W wall and W end of the N wall of the nave (int. c. 17m E−W; 6.55 N−S) are gone. The N wall of the nave retains three 13th-century, double pointed lancets, the middle one partly blocked by the 1506 O’Crean canopy tomb (SL014-065027-). Traces of plaster survive towards the W end of the N wall. Amongst the graveslabs on display in the nave, four (SL014-065035-; SL014-065036-; SL014-065037-; SL014-065038-) appear to be late medieval in date. The nave is separated from the S aisle by an arcade of three pointed arches, resting on two large, elongated octagonal pillars with moulded bases and capitals and two engaged semi-octagonal pillars. The arcade is a 15th-century insertion in the 13th-century S wall of the nave, which is clearly marked by a string course framing the arcade. The original S and W wall of the aisle are gone and have been replaced by modern walls. At the E end of the aisle is a round-headed archway with an internal rib, giving access into the S chapel (int. c. 9.50m N–S and c. 6m E–W). The E wall of the chapel survives, but little remains of the S and W walls. In the E wall of the chapel, there is an arched altar recess towards the N end of the wall, and remnants of another to the S, but the windows they contained are gone. There is a small piscina niche in the SW corner of the N altar recess, and an aumbry adjacent to S. At the S end of the E wall there are remnants of a window with wide splay, and another aumbry. A grave slab (SL014-065039-), on display on the N wall of the chapel, is probably late medieval date. At the E end of the nave is a rood screen structure (int.: 5.8m N–S; 1.47m E–W), which post-dates the tower. This is a rare survival. The structure originally consisted of two arcades of three pointed arches, supporting a rib-vault of three bays and a gallery above. It would have been fitted with screens to hide the chancel from view, opened only at certain moments of the liturgy, such as during the Elevation of the Host. The rood, a large representation of the crucifixion, would have been mounted above the central screen, facing towards the nave. The engaged columns at the four corners of the structure survive, and the W arcade has been restored, with two octagonal columns featuring moulded bases and capitals. In the N and S walls are arched recesses, which may have served as secondary altars. The S recess has an aumbry in its internal W wall. Immediately to E of the rood screen is the central bell tower, supported at W and E by tall, broad pointed arches. The internal ribs on the E side have simple chamfered conical stops, but on the W side they terminate in elaborately sculpted corbels in the form of a man’s head to S and woman’s head to the N, both in extravagant 15th-century headdress, the man also sporting a luxuriant moustache. Above the male head an angel bears an escutcheon; above the female head an escutcheon is held by a pair of angels in intricately feathered garb. The heads are most likely representations of the benefactors who funded the construction of the tower. In the N wall beneath the tower, there is a doorway leading to the cloister; it is slightly impeded by the NW pillar of the tower. In the S wall there is a pointed lancet, the west-most in the row of 13th-century windows that lit the chancel; this window and the doorway indicate the original W extent of the chancel prior to the construction of the tower in the 15th century. Underneath the lancet in the S wall are three 17-century sculpted wall monuments (SL014-065029-; SL014-065030-; SL014-065031-). Above the arches, the tower tapers into a two-storey square belfry. At first floor level there are rectangular single lights in the W and E walls, a large pointed light in the N wall and a cinquefoiled ogee-headed single light with concave spandrels in the S wall. At second floor lev

• SL014-065014 Bastioned fort
  Description

  The following details are derived from Gallagher and Legg (2012, 14) and Bolton, Dargan and Roche (2017) to which the reader is referred. The fort, known as ‘Green Fort’, was probably built by Conyers Clifford in 1599 on the site of earlier ringfort, Rath-da-bhritog. It is shown as a regular earthwork with four corner bastions on the north side of the Garvoge River on Baxter’s map c.1600. It is also marked on the Down Survey maps of the barony of Carbury and the parish of Calrie dating from c.1655-8. In 1656 it was described as an earthwork in poor condition and Thomas Phillips represents it as an abandoned earthwork in his prospect of Sligo drawn c. 1685. The Green Fort was incorporated into a network of defensive earthworks which enveloped Sligo town during the Williamite wars (1688-91) that also included the 'Stone Fort' (built late 1650s; see SL014-065007-) on the site of old de Burgo castle (SL014-065006-), a redoubt (SL014-065028-) and series of enveloping earthen ramparts with bastions. When the town was attacked by Brigadier Patrick Sarsfield and his Jacobite forces in early October 1689 the commanding Williamite officer, Colonel Thomas Lloyd, abandoned the town and brought his troops to the Green Fort from where they were able to escape to Enniskillen under cover of darkness (see SL014-065024-). After the Jacobites took Sligo, Colonel Henry Luttrell, with the aid of Robert Burton 'his Majesty's engineer', refortified the Green Fort and added additional outworks. The fort was incorporated into the extensive earthen defences which surrounded the town. A plan of the works drawn at this time (see attached) describes the fort as ‘newly fortified with a good Chemien, Court, and Glacis, well palisaded’, having a well ‘which is continually full of water’. In June 1690, Sir Tadhg O’Regan was appointed commander of the Jacobite forces at Sligo. He brought ordnance from the town to strengthen the Green Fort and made improvements to the town’s defences. Sligo was strategically important to the Jacobites, as control of the town secured north Connacht and provided them with a platform from which they could raid into Ulster. By the summer of 1691 Williamite encroachment on Sligo seemed inevitable after the success of their campaign that had seen the fall of Athlone in June, and the Jacobite defeat at Aughrim on 12 July. These victories early in the campaign season meant that the main Williamite force could now advance on the Jacobite strongholds of Connacht and Clare. On Saturday 12th September 1691 the Green Fort was attached by Williamite forces under Colonel John Michelburne who had noted that while Sligo had been reinforced, only a single company of grenadiers was stationed at the fort. Michelburne and his forces advanced rapidly to secure the defensive ditch and broke into the fort, causing the defenders to escape by jumping over the parapets and retreating to the Stone Fort (SL014-065007-) in the town. O'Regan was besieged in the Stone Fort, and with the arrival of further Williamite troops, he negotiated a surrender marching away with his garrison and two cannons on Monday 14 September. O'Reagan handed the keys of the Stone Fort to Michelburne who was appointed Governor of Sligo. The Williamite forces took possession of the Green Fort which had ‘sixteen other cannons mounted in the wall, and thirty barrels of gunpowder in the magazines, as well as stores of all kinds.’ The fort appears to have been abandoned relatively soon after the war. It was in a ruinous condition by 1739, by which time its military function had been superseded by the barracks erected in the early 1700s in the town. Forthill House was built adjacent to the site in the mid-eighteenth century and from this period onwards, the Green Fort appears to have lain abandoned and unused. It is not marked on Taylor and Skinners 1777 map of Sligo or William Larkin’s 1810 map. It is named the ‘Green Fort’ on the OS 1st ed. 6-inch map (surveyed 1837) and on all later editions and revisions where it is shown as an isolated but well-defined rectilinear fortification with salient-angled corner bastions. The monument lies on raised ground c. 30m north of Connaughton Road (R286) adjacent to the entrance of Sligo University Hospital. The remains are those of an earthen artillery fortification measuring approximately 86m N-S by 90m E-W externally, and 45m by 49m E-W internally, standing c. 3.9m high at its maximum, enclosing an area of approximately 7.7 acres/3100m2. The fort comprises a raised rectangular platform, with salient-angled corner bastions, encircled by angled earthen slopes and ditches. There are no standing remains or internal features visible within the fort (entrances, covered way, gun emplacements, well etc.) and there is no surface indication of outer defensive works. The monument now forms part of a field system and has no regular access path. The south and eastern sides of the fort including the south-east and south-west bastions feature mature hedgerows. The interior of the fort, the west and north banks, and the north-east and north-west bastions show grass cover, with wet boggy ground conditions found within the northern ditch and along the east side of the fort. A later field boundary intersects the south-west bastion at the south-west corner of the site. (Gallagher and Legg 2012, 14; Bolton, Dargan and Roche 2017) This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 2/1983).

• SL014-065027 Wall monument
  Description

  Located in the church of Sligo Dominican friary (SL014-064008-), set in the N wall of the nave. A canopy tomb, dated 1506, erected for members of the O’Crean family. The O’Creans were a wealthy merchant family from Donegal, who came to Sligo in the late 15th century, and became patrons of the friars. This tomb is typical of the period, and a similar example can be found in Strade Dominican friary (MA070-067003-) in Co. Mayo. It is comprised of a tall, pointed canopy arch (H c. 4m) with elegant, finely carved tracery, only the upper section of which survives (H c. 4m), which encloses a chest tomb. The front panel (Wth 2.56m; H 1.20m; D 0.68m) of the tomb is carved with a row of nine religious figures, within miniature quatrefoiled ogee-headed arches framed by crocketed pinnacles. The ogees are richly decorated with vine leaf carvings. The central figure is Christ on the cross. The figures arrayed on Christ’s left are (L to R): St Dominic; St Catherine of Alexandria, robed and crowned, with a sword in her right hand and holding a circle against her breast, identified as her wheel; a female figure in a long belted gown carrying a staff, possibly representing a pilgrim; and the Virgin. To the right of Christ are: St John the Apostle; St Michael the Archangel, with his raised sword and shield; St Peter the Apostle, holding the keys to Heaven; and the figure of a bishop holding a processional cross, his hand raised in benediction. Above the figures, directly beneath the slab of the tomb chest, is a Latin inscription, which reads: ‘Here lies Cormac O'Craian and McSehon young Faraengasa his wife, the year 1506 (MCCCCCCVI)’ (Wood-Martin 1889, 70). Set in the back wall of the canopy is an armorial stone (SL014-065043-), which is a later insertion.

• SL014-065028 Wall monument
  Description

  Located in the church of Sligo Dominican friary (SL014-065008-), at the E end of the S wall of the chancel. It is set within the eastern-most of the chancel’s eight 13th-century lancet windows. This impressive wall monument, carved in the Renaissance style, was commissioned in 1624 by Lady Eleanor Butler to commemorate her husband Sir Donogh O’Connor Sligo, who died in 1609. It is comprised of three sections, surmounted by a representation of the Crucifixion. The upper section bears the sculpted crest and coat of arms of the O’Connor family, flanked by two figures, one bearing a key, the other a sword, possibly representing St Peter and St Paul (Wood-Martin 1889, 70). The two figures stand on small projecting corbels. A projecting hood-moulding separates this section from the larger middle section. Winged cherubs’ heads are carved above and below the middle section, at each corner. This section is dedicated to a representation of Lady Eleanor and her husband, who face each other, kneeling in prayer on either side of a small gabled altar or reliquary. Sir Donogh, on the left, is in full 17th-century armour, with his helmet placed on the floor behind him. Lady Eleanor is wearing a collarette typical of the period, and a long gown with a cape, as well as a rosary around her neck, and on her head a tiara or diadem. Each figure is placed within a round-headed arch, resting on the altar or reliquary in the centre, and on pillars ornamented with trophies. On the pillar to the left of Sir Donogh are a drum, flag and axe, and a shield, sword and musket. On the pillar to the right of Lady Eleanor are an open book, with a spade and torch over a censer or thurible (Wood-Martin 1889, 70). These items are most likely attributes meant to symbolize the lives they lived: prowess on the battlefield for Sir Donogh, and engagement in pious activities for Lady Eleanor. The lowermost section of the monument features a winged hour-glass surrounded by elaborate carvings of stylised flowers, foliage, scrolls and grapes, flanked on either side are two skulls. Above the monument is a small wooden canopy, installed by the OPW to protect it from the elements.
