• SL018-077002 Hut site
  Description

  Located in a broad expanse of sedge- and heather-covered bog, bordered to W by the valley of the Croagh River. The bog is cut through in parts by old turf cuttings, drainage ditches and bog roads. A bog road is located c. 20m to SW of the hut site. The hut site consists of a sub-circular area (8.5-9m E–W; 7.5m N–S) defined on its perimeter by a grass-, moss- and heather-covered rise or bank (W1-1.4m), from which several large stones (max. dims. 0.55-0.9m; max. H 0.4m) protrude at SW–NW. The stones appear to be part of an enclosing wall, almost entirely engulfed in peat and overgrowth. The interior is is marked by bog grasses, mosses and a dense growth of rushes. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 4 July 2014

• SL018-092 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  In the base of the Crowagh River valley, on a broad U-shaped area of level, grassy ground defined by a meander in the river. Immediately to W of the river, the valley slope rises steeply to a plateau of blanket bog which stretching to the W. The well consists of a rectangular, vertical-sided pit (2.4m NE–SW; 1.1m NW–SE; D 0.5m) with a narrow outflow channel extending from the N corner for 4m to the river bank at NNW. Several large stones form a rough surround or paving at the S–SW end of the well. According to local information, the well is known as ‘The Blessed Well’ but it is not associated with a saint, and there is no tradition of a pattern or a ‘cure’. The well was used by turf harvesters as a source of fresh water. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 4 April 2014

• SL018-093 Hut site
  Description

  Located in the SW corner of a roughly rectangular turf cutting, on a flat plateau of heather and sedge-covered blanket bog bordered at NE–E by the Crowagh River valley. A roughly circular area (diam. c. 5.5-6m) can be distinguished by a slightly denser, higher growth of heather. Exposed on its perimeter at SE–SW is a shallow arc of low close-set stones, possibly the remnants of a stone bank or wall. The stone bank/wall (Wth 0.4-0.7m) appears to be only two stones wide, and barely protrudes above the bog surface. Individual stones can be glimpsed or felt by probing beneath the heather elsewhere around the perimeter of the heather cropmark. The visible remains suggest that a circular stone structure, possibly a hut site, is concealed beneath the heather. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 2 July 2014

• SL018-097 Burnt mound
  Description

  Located on the S bank of a meandering stream, in a small valley, bordered to S by an expanse of blanket bog. It is situated in the NW corner of a pasture field which was reclaimed from the bog. There is a court tomb (SL018-076----) c. 40m to NE. The burnt mound is exposed in section at the junction of the E–W stream gully and a N–S field drain/property fence. It is visible as a layer (L c. 4m E-W; D 0.2m) of black, charcoal-rich soil incorporating small angular stones and charcoal fragments in the S side of the stream gully at a height of c. 1.5m above the stream. At the W end, the layer can be traced extending c. 3-4m to S in the side of a U-shaped cutting through the stream scarp, at the N end of the N–S field drain. A layer of peat (D 0.2-0.3m) overlies the burnt material. The outline of the mound can not be traced at ground surface. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 8 July 2014
