• SL012-045 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated in level pasture, at the edge of an E-facing slope which falls for 20m to the Carrowcor River. Slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 16m) enclosed by a largely levelled earthen bank (Wth c. 2.5m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.5m). A field fence, on a ENE-WSW axis, truncates the bank at S.

• SL012-046 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on the W side of a low, narrow NNW-SSE ridge a short distance above the E bank of the Carrowcor River. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1837 OS 6-inch map but not shown on the 1913 edition. A slightly raised circular area (diam. 18m) enclosed by the low remains of a bank (Wth 1.3-2m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.3m) of earth and stone. Outside this is a fosse (Wth 1.4-2.5m) with an external bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.4m). Both banks appear to have been faced with stone. The external bank is truncated at N by a modern field fence on an E–W axis. The interior slopes down slightly from W to E. In the NE quadrant there is a small hollow, obscured by overgrowth.

• SL018-011 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a level terrace on the S-facing slope of a NW-SE ridge. Raised circular area (diam. c. 25m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.2m) with ephemeral traces of an external fosse. Densely overgrown with scrub. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL018-012 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated at the E side of a NNW-SSE ridge overlooking a bend in the Doonbeakin River c. 15m downslope to NE. Raised circular area (diam. 22m) enclosed by a largely levelled bank (Wth c. 4.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.9m) of earth and stone. Between 3m and 4m out from the outer foot of this bank are ephemeral remains of a levelled second bank. At SE the outer bank, which at this point is relatively intact (Wth. 2.8m; ext. H 0.8m), appears to breaks from its regular curvilinear circuit and extends outwards to enclose an approximately rectangular area (12m NW–SE; 10m NE–SW). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL018-013 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated at the E side of the top of a NW-SE ridge. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 22m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.8-3m; int. H 0.1m at NE, 0.65m at SW; ext. H 1.2m at NE; 0.6m at SW). The rath straddles a natural slope which results in a more pronounced external slope to the bank at NE. From ENE-S, the bank is truncated by a NE-SW field boundary. There is a break (Wth. 2m) in bank at S but it does not appear to be the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL018-089 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Situated on a strip of lowlying, marshy ground bordered on the S side by an ESW–WNW field drain, on the S side of which is a farm road. Immediately to NE–E of the mound the ground rises to a low ridge. This burnt mound appears as a very low, grass-covered oval-shaped rise (c. 8m NW–SE; c. 6m NE-SW; H 0.3m). The limits of the mound are poorly defined, grading seamlessly with surrounding ground. Probing revealed small stone fragments within a matrix of black soil. Compiled by: Patrick F.
