Recorded monuments

• SL034-108001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In undulating pasture, on top of a ridge. A slightly raised oval area (19m SE-NW; 29m NE-SW) enclosed by a gapped earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.2m) W-SE and by a scarp (H 1.1m) S-W. There is a gap (Wth 3m) at SE. The line of a silted-up external fosse is evident as a band of irises (Wth 3m) along the N arc. The N half of the interior is covered in irises. There is a souterrain (SL034-108002-) in the SE quadrant. Another rath (SL034-110----) lies c. 10m to the SE with a passage tomb (SL034-109----) in between. A NW-SE field boundary is close to the SW 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).

• SL034-108002 Souterrain
  Description

  In the SE quadrant of a rath (SL034-108001-). A line (L 6m E-W) of stone slabs, probably the roof lintels of a souterrain passage, are exposed along the inner edge of the bank of the rath at S. Other stones, visible 14m to E, indicate the continuation of the souterrain to E.

• SL034-109 Megalithic tomb - passage tomb
  Description

  On the summit of a ridge in pasture and commanding an outlook in all directions. The remains of a cruciform passage tomb stand in the base of a cairn. The cairn perimeter has been disturbed by two adjoining raths (SL034-108001- to NW and SL034-110---- to E). A retaining kerb is represented by three leaning stones at the NE which indicate that the cairn was of round outline. The tomb would seem to have opened to the SW. An orthostat at the NE is the backstone and another opposite it and 4.65m to the SW appears to be a sillstone. This stone may have marked a point of segmentation along the passage, now otherwise destroyed. A well-preserved chamber (0.8m x 0.7m) some 1.5m SSW of the backstone is the right-hand side-chamber of the tomb. Single stones form its sides and back and it is entered between two jamb-like stones. The opposite side-chamber is represented only by its backstone. A displaced roofstone lies against the SE side-chamber and another leans against the surviving sillstone. A number of other displaced or partly buried stones lie at the site.

There is a possible entrance (Wth 1m) at NE where the enclosing earthen bank along the E arc extends outwards towards the N. The line of an external fosse is indicated as a band (Wth 2m) of irises. Field boundaries (on a NW-SE axis) are adjacent to the NE and SW arcs. There is another rath (SL034-108001-) c. 10m to the NW with a passage tomb (SL034-109----) in between.
