Recorded monuments

• SL017-038 Crannog
  Description

  Centrally located in Lough Nacreeva. Marked as an island on the 1837 and 1913 OS 6-inch maps. The lake has been drained and much of its original extent is now occupied by wet, marshy ground. This possible crannog is now located within the drained area, close to the S post-drainage shoreline of the lake. It comprises an approximately oval-shaped, slightly raised area (15m N-S; 10m E-W). No archaeological features were identified. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL017-071 Field boundary
  Description

  In a broad expanse of heather and sedge-covered blanket bog. There are old turf cuttings throughout the area, and small-scale machine harvesting takes place in parts. This record was not listed in the SMR (1989). It was listed in the RMP (1995) as ‘field system’ but no source of information or field description was added to the file at that time. The area was inspected in 2014. Evidence of a possible field wall was found on an area of level, slightly elevated ground. Immediately to W there is gentle slope down to W to a slightly lower wetter expanse of bog. The possible wall consists of a widely gapped, single line (L c. 15-16m N–S) of c. 12 low stones, oriented roughly N–S. The stones barely protrude above the bog surface. Two stones are exposed to a height of 0.30m but the rest are barely visible. No evidence for an extensive field system was found. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 15 August 2014
