Recorded monuments

• SL020-112 Earthwork
  Description

  In pasture, on a natural ridge. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. A possible earthwork of uncertain form is visible in an aerial photograph (ACAP, V 197/164-5) at this location (SMR (1989) file). There is a house built at the location shown and there are no surface remains of this potential monument surviving. Compiled by: Archaeological Survey Unit, UCC with revisions by Patrick F. O'Donovan and Paul Walsh Date of upload: 20 June 2011

• SL020-113 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, on top of a prominent ridge with excellent views in all directions. A raised roughly oval area (c. 16.5m WNW-ESE; 9.5m NNE-SSW) defined NW-ENE by a low curving bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.75m). From SE-WSW, the bank has been straightened and incorporated into a now disused field boundary wall. There are no visible remains of the enclosure to S of this field wall. A small portion of the enclosure has been destroyed at W due to the construction of a large concrete water tank and a farm building. A break (Wth 1.9m) in the bank at E may mark the original entrance. According to local information, 'passages' which emanated from this enclosure were filled with stones in the 1950s and 1960s. 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).

• SL020-230001 Bridge
  Description

  In a shallow valley with a small stream near the E end of Ballysadare Bay. There are no visible remains of a 17th-century bridge referred to on a stone (SL014-284009-) with a Latin inscription (now in Sligo County Museum) attributing the building of the bridge to Maria, wife of the soldier Roger Jones in the year 1628 (Sligo Field Club files). The 17th-century bridge may have replaced an earlier bridge. The placename Belladrihid (Béal an Droichid, ‘approach of (to) the bridge’) is recorded in the Annals of Loch Cé under the year 1495: LC1495.2 ‘Mac Donnchadha of Tir-Oilella, i.e. Tadhg, the son of Brian, son of Conchobhar, was killed by O'Domhnaill, i.e. Aedh Ruadh, son of Niall Garbh, at Bel-an-droichit.’ (pers. comm. Dr Conchubhar Ó Crualaoich, An Brainse Logainmneacha /The Placenames Branch, 2021). The present bridge is a disused causeway bridge of 19th-century appearance between a railway line and the modern N4 road. It has two semicircular arches, roughly 12m apart, one partially replaced with concrete and the other blocked up leaving only a small lintelled channel. 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).
