Recorded monuments

• SL021-032001 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a spine of elevated rocky ground, at the E end of a low narrow ridge. An oval platform (16m N-S; 19m E-W) defined on top by scant remains of a moss-covered stone wall, and enclosed by an outer wall NE-W with an intervening gap (Wth 3m). The oval platform is in effect a modified natural rise, defined NW-NE by a steep drop (H 3m) and elsewhere by a more gentle fall of ground (max. H 1m). The interior is level but with an uneven surface broken by a scattering of stone. The W third is covered by low scrubby blackthorn bushes. A shallow depression (Wth 2m; D 0.4m) extends from the S edge of the oval platform into the interior to N for 6.5m, probably the result of quarrying. The entrance was most likely at E where the interior is lowest relative to external ground level and where a slightly raised stony causeway-like feature (Wth 1.3m) bridges the gap between the enclosing walls. There is a possible souterrain (SL021-032002-) in the interior, adjacent to the entrance at E. 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).

• SL021-032002 Souterrain
  Description

  In a cashel (SL021-032001-), adjacent to the entrance at E. The NE end of a lintelled passage (Wth 0.8m; H 0.8m) is exposed on the SE side of a hollow inside the entrance. The passage appears to extend to S. It is stone-lined on its W side and uses natural rock outcrop on its E 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).

• SL021-078001 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In undulating pasture, on the top of a low rocky elevation and c. 15m N of a stream. A slightly raised oval area (24.3m E-W; 17.7m N-S) defined NE-W by a sod-covered stone bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.45m), slightly expanded (Wth 2.8m) SW-W where incorporated into a now ruined field boundary wall. Elsewhere it is enclosed by a flattened curved wall, engulfed in brambles. The external height of the stone bank is enhanced at W where it merges with a rock outcrop (H 2m). The interior is level and grassy. A small semicircular area (diam 2m) is cut out of the external face of the stone bank at NNE adjacent to the wall. The lintel of a possible souterrain (SL021-078002-) is evident at the base of the slope to SE. Another cashel (SL021-073----) is visible on top of a knoll c. 450m to 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).

• SL021-078002 Souterrain
  Description

  In poorly drained pasture, at the base of a slope to SE of a possible rath (SL021-078001-). A stone resting on two smaller stones may be a roof lintel of a souterrain.
