• SL026-120001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level pasture, close to a break of slope. The most south-western of three conjoined raths (see SL026-120002- and SL026-120003-) in a NE-SW row. A slightly raised circular area (24m N-S; 25m E-W) enclosed S-N by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.15m) with a well-defined external face and a low internal rim and by a low broadly sloping scarp (Wth 3.5m; H 0.55m) N-NE, petering out to a slight undulation E-S. The bank at N swings wide of the circuit of the enclosure and continues to NE intersecting with the bank of the adjoining rath (SL026-120002-) but this appears to be the result of a later modification of both. The interior has a very slight slope down to E. At N-NE the scarp slumps into a shallow fosse-like depression (Wth 2m) that separates this rath from the bank of the adjoining rath (SL026-120002-). 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).

• SL026-120002 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level pasture, close to a break of slope. The middle of three conjoined raths (see SL026-120001- and SL026-120003-) in a NE-SW row. A slightly raised subcircular area (30.3m NNW-SSE; 24m E-W) defined S-N by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1m), by a discrete section of bank at E and by a slight scarp E-S. The slightly sunken remnants of a NW-SE trackway truncates the NE arc of the rath. The trackway, bordered on the NE side by a field fence, also truncates the interface between this rath and the adjoining rath (SL026-120003-) immediately to NE. The interior is level with traces of ridge and furrow cultivation on a NW-SE axis.

• SL026-120003 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level pasture, close to a break of slope. The most north-eastern of three conjoined raths (see SL026-120001- and SL026-120002-) in a NE-SW row. Evident as a slightly raised D-shaped area (diam. 23m) defined NW-N by a low scarp, E-S by a scarp (H 0.5m) with a slight internal lip (Wth 1m) and on the straight SW side by a linear field boundary (Wth 1.5m). This field boundary truncates the rath from S-NW and together with a farm pathway (Wth 3m) separates it from the rath (SL026-120002-) immediately to SW. The interior is level.

Date of upload: 18 January 2008

• SL026-121 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, at the top of a steep slope down to the Owenmore River to NNE. A roughly wedge-shaped area (14m WNW-ESE at S; 38m WNW-ESE at N; 36.4m NNE-SSW) defined on the straight S and W sides by a bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.5m), by a scarp (H 1.35m; Wth slope 3.5m) in a shallow curving arc NNW-NE and on the straight E side by a bank, reduced to scarp at NE end. The scarp NNW-NE is built up to compensate for the natural fall of ground. Large stones protrude from the sod along the top of the scarp at NE. The interior is generally level but roughly in the centre there is a slight rise (diam. c. 10m). Just to N of this is a more pronounced roughly circular, sod-covered stony rise (5m E-W; 4m N-S; H 0.55m). The rath is indicated as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 32m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map.

• SL026-122 Weir - regulating
  Description

  In the Owenmore River. This monument was listed in the SMR (1989) as ‘Weir’ and in the RMP (1995) as ‘Weir Site’. This is one of seven records for weirs (SL026-122----; SL026-126-----; SL026-130----; SL026-159-----; SL026-159001-; SL026-159002-; SL026-159003-) recorded in the SMR whose only source is noted as ‘Marked on estate map dated 1618’ (SMR file). It has not proved possible to identify this map. It is marked and named ‘Weir’ on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It was not marked on the 1913 edition. On inspection in 1992 there were no visible remains of this weir though it is possible that residual elements survive on the river bed. Although the date of this weir is unknown the possibility that it pre-dates 1700 AD cannot be ruled out. Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 18 October 2011

• SL026-123 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a rise. An oval platform (int. diam. 35m N-S; 24m E-W) enclosed S-N by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 1.1m; max. ext. H 1.7m) and elsewhere by a scarp. There is a possible entrance (Wth 2.5m) at N. The interior is clear of overgrowth. Trees grow along the bank and on the sides of the platform. 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). Date of upload: 18 January 2008

• SL026-124 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  On a very slight rise in an expanse of flat poorly drained pasture. The ground slopes down gently to E towards the Owenmore River. A slightly raised circular platform (23.8m NE-SW; c. 20m NW-SE) defined by a broadly sloping scarp (H 1.2m; Wth slope 4.7m) with traces of an internal lip. A shallow external fosse (Wth 4-5m), marked by soft wet ground and a dense growth of rushes, is evident all round while the outer bank (Wth c. 5m) survives SW-NW as a broad low rise. The outer edge of the fosse is poorly defined and S-SW merges imperceptibly with the very boggy surrounding ground. The top of the platform is level. A bowl-barrow (SL026-125----) lies c. 100m to ENE. 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).

• SL026-125 Barrow - bowl-barrow
  Description

  In pasture, c. 20m W of the Owenmore River. A flat-topped conical mound of earth and stone (diam. 10.5m at base; H 6.3m). A ring-barrow (SL026-124----) lies c. 100m to WSW.

• SL026-128 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On the N edge of Ballynacarrow village, in waste ground wedged between the realigned main road and a lay-by. This possible rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 20m) and on the 1913 OS 6-inch map as a circular raised area truncated at E by a N-S field boundary. According to local information, the rath was partially levelled during the road realignment in the 1950s. Part of the S quadrant remains as a raised triangular area of waste ground but, due to overgrowth, it is very difficult to inspect. The area is defined SE-SW by a scarp (C c. 10m; H c. 0.8m). The NW side (L c. 20m) of the triangle is defined by the main road and the E side by a field boundary. 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). Date of upload: 18 January 2008

• SL026-129 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In flat wet pasture, on the W bank of the Owenmore River. A circular area (int. diam. 41m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.4m) and an external fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.6m). The bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.4m) has a possible entrance (Wth 3m) with a causeway and ramp across the fosse at W. Several other gaps were noted in the bank including one at NW (Wth 5m). The interior is grass-covered.

• SL026-169 Mill - bleaching
  Description

  Not included in the SMR (1989) but listed in the RMP (1995) and classified 'Mill'. On the SW bank of the Owenmore river, at the end of an old trackway flanked by a millrace. The mill is named 'Bleach Mill' on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The remains of a rectangular structure (c. 26m NW-SE; c. 8m NE-SW) are built into a NE-facing slope. The SE wall stands to two storeys but elsewhere the walls are low. There are four stone arched window opes in the NE wall on the ground floor with remains of windows overhead. There is a central door ope in the SE wall. The remains of a two-storey projection is at the NW end of the NE wall. Two deep wheel-pit channels (long axis NE-SW), one with flowing water, cross the mill off centre to NW. A millrace (Wth 4m; D 1.35m) is taken from the river c. 350m to E. A bleach green named on the 1838 OS 6-inch map to S of the mill is now a pasture field. The remains of the 19th-century Thorn Hill Corn Mill are c. 200m to SE. The remains of a bridge over the Owenmore river survives between the two mills. The present bridge c. 400m to E, named Ballynacarrow Bridge, is a 19th-century five-arched bridge. This is probably post-1700 AD in date. Compiled by: Archaeological Survey Unit, UCC Date of upload: 11 January 2012

• SL026-179 Church
  Description

  Situated in Ballynacarrow village, on the NW side of the road. The R.

The walls survived (H c. 2.5m) at least until the 1960s, but it is no longer extant. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 3 May 2013
