Recorded monuments

• SL044-020 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On top of a broad flat-topped knoll, overlooking the Owenmore River c. 100m to S. The NW half of this rath has been quarried away. The remains consist of a substantially raised D-shaped platform (dims. 16m NNW-SSE) defined on the straight NW side (L 23.5m ENE-WSW) by a quarry and NE-WSW by a high curving scarp (H 2.7m) with external fosse (Wth c. 8.5m; D 1.9m). The curving scarp is engulfed in hawthorn and blackthorn bushes and brambles. The fosse survives N-E as a shallow depression (Wth 4.7m; D 0.6m) but E-SW it is broad, flat-bottomed and dug deeply into the top of the knoll close to break of slope so that immediately outside the fosse the ground falls away in a steep natural slope. The outer edge of the fosse E-S is engulfed in brambles and thorn bushes. The straight side of the platform consists of an irregular, slumped, grass-covered scarp (H 1.55m) the result of quarrying. A curving undulation is evident NNW-NNE, 18m to NNW of the quarry scarp, and may indicate the line of the fosse on this side. The intervening quarried space, between this undulation and the remains of the interior, is slightly sunken and has an uneven surface. 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).
