• SL021-021 Enclosure
  Description

  In undulating poor pasture, on a low hillock. A roughly circular area (21.7m N-S; 25.4m E-W) defined by large boulders and by an arc of field boundary NW-N. The interior slopes down to S; there is a mound of field clearance stones in the interior. The enclosure is covered with overgrowth.

• SL021-022001 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  At the W end of a spine of elevated ground broken by rock outcrops and engulfed in a dense thicket of hazel and blackthorn, rising from an expanse of flat poorly drained pasture. A roughly circular area (c. 23m NE-SW; c. 20m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (H 2m) topped by a low moss-covered rubble bank (Wth c. 1m; int. H 0.3m) with rough external facing (H 0.6m) of large upright slabs and boulders. Skirting the base of slope N-SE is a scarp cut into the natural slope with an intervening gap or terrace (Wth c. 2m). It is truncated at SE by a later field fence on a NE-SW axis. The scarp is faced with large roughly coursed blocks of stone and is topped by a low bank of rubble (Wth 1.5m). At SE it incorporates massive boulders. Extending from it to E is a S-facing scarp (H 1m) of similar construction which follows the natural contour of the elevated ground. A possible souterrain (SL021-022002-) and hut site (SL021-022003-) lie at the centre of the overgrown interior. A possible cashel (SL021-023----) is located on elevated ground c. 80m to SSE and there is a burnt spread (SL021-116----) immediately to SE.

At the N end of the depression a possible filled-in passage is visible as a stone-edged path (Wth 1m) which follows a meandering course across the interior of the cashel to a break (Wth 1m) in the perimeter of the enclosing wall.

There is much tumbled stone on the sloping sides of the platform which is partially obscured at E and S-SW by mounds of field clearance rubble banked up against it. A ruinous field wall on a roughly N-S axis crosses the W half of the interior, intersecting at S with another field wall extending E-W across the S edge of the interior. Known locally as a 'grave' (pers. comm. W. Forbes). A cashel (SL021-022001-) lies c. 80m to NNW.

A rectangular structure (ext. 9.7m N-S; 5.5m E-W) defined by a sod-covered stone bank (Wth c. 1m; H 0.4m). According to tradition, this is the remains of a church. The interior is engulfed by blackthorn bushes and brambles. There is a souterrain (SL021-025003-) in the S half of the interior.

• SL021-025002 Graveyard
  Description

  A D-shaped area (dims. 52m N-S) enclosed W-E by a dilapidated sod-covered stone bank, with the straight side (L c. 58m E-W) to the S bordered by a field boundary wall topped with a post and wire fence. The sod-covered stone bank has traces of an internal and external facing of large stones, best seen N-NE. It is engulfed by blackthorn bushes NE-E. The wall is poorly preserved (Wth 1.8m; H 0.35m) W-NW where it kinks to incorporate a natural undulation but is more substantial (Wth 3m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 0.65m) NW-E where it curves to form a regular arc. The wall (Wth 0.6m; H 0.6m) defining the S side surmounts a low N-facing rocky scarp (H c. 0.6m). The interior is predominantly level but to the N of the centre a N-facing slope crosses the width of the graveyard and marks a drop (H c. 1.5m) in ground level to a flat wet area. According to local information, this area was used as a burial ground and is locally called 'the roilig' (Faughnan 1943). No graves or grave-markers are visible anywhere within the interior. A 'straining stone' (SL021-025004-) is located to the NE of the centre. A possible church (SL021-025001-) lies immediately outside the graveyard to the SE.

• SL021-025003 Souterrain
  Description

  In the S half of the interior of a possible church (SL021-025001-). Visible beneath the overgrowth is a rectangular sunken area (c. 2m E-W; 1.5m N-S; D c. 0.6m) lined with a jumble of stones and slabs. To the N of this the ground slumps unevenly to a depth of c. 1m below exterior ground level and is covered with a jumble of stones and slabs. At the NW corner there may be an in situ lintel. According to local information, this souterrain consisted of a small drystone-built chamber roofed with stone lintels.

• SL021-025004 Ritual site - holy/saint's stone
  Description

  Embedded in the ground to NE of the centre of a graveyard (SL021-025002-). The stone is a square slab (0.88m x 0.88m; H 0.23m) the top of which has been shaped into a circular disc (diam. 0.8m) with a flat smooth surface rising 0.04m proud of the square base. According to tradition, the stone, which is known as a 'straining stone', has curative powers for sprains. The cure was effected by a length of string or thread that was wound around the raised circular part of the stone. The visitor to the stone removed the thread and tied it to the afflicted limb continuing to wear it until healed. Before leaving the visitor had to tie a replacement thread to the stone. A similar stone (SL021-011003-) is located at Killerry, c. 3.5km to NE.

  Description

  In low-lying wet pasture, at the base of a rise. A layer (L 4.5m; D 0.25m) of heat-shattered stones and dark soil and charcoal is visible in a section of a recently cut NE-SW drain. There is a cashel (SL021-022001-) immediately to NW.
