• SL027-004001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough grazing, on slightly raised level ground. Indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as an embanked roughly D-shaped area with a straight W side. Remains consist of a roughly circular area (18m N-S; 22m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.85m; ext. H 1m) SW-ENE and by a stone-faced scarp (H 1.3m) elsewhere. There is a souterrain (SL027-004002-) 22m to W. 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).

• SL027-004002 Souterrain
  Description

  In rough grazing, 22m W of a rath (SL027-004001-). An opening (2m x 1m) reveals a stone lintel, c. 0.4m below ground level, which covers a passage (Wth c. 1.2m) extending towards the NW. A possible second passage (Wth 0.8m), extending towards NE, is blocked after a short distance. 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).

• SL027-006 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough grazing, close to the base of an E-facing slope. Indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as an oval embanked area (c. 30m NW-SE; c. 40m NE-SW). The S half of the rath is now levelled and evident only as a slightly raised area while the N half is defined by a densely overgrown arc of earthen bank (Wth c. 3m; ext. H 0.2m). The interior slopes down to S.

• SL027-007 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough grazing, on a SSE-facing slope, just below the top of a ridge. A circular area (20m N-S) defined on the upslope side by an earthen bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 0.5m) NW-NE which is incorporated into a field boundary N-NE. A scarp (H 1.2m) with a low internal lip defines the interior elsewhere. The N perimeter is overgrown with gorse. A slight external dip along the W arc may indicate an infilled fosse. The interior slopes gently down to S.

Date of upload: 18 January 2008

• SL027-008 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In a forest plantation, on a SE-facing slope just below the top of a ridge. A grass-covered slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 30m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.2m) SE-NW and by a scarp elsewhere. The interior slopes markedly down to E. A slight dip (Wth c. 3m; D 0.2m) evident SW-WNW may indicate an infilled external fosse. A possible entrance (Wth 3m) at E was noted during a previous site inspection in 1973 (SMR (1989) file). There is a farm trackway immediately to E. Another rath (SL027-009----) lies c. 30m to NE.

• SL027-009 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough grazing, on a ridge. A raised circular area (diam. c. 20m) enclosed by an earthen bank. The bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H c. 1.2m) is best evident SW-W. A gap at S was noted during a previous site inspection in 1973 (SMR (1989) file). The rath is densely overgrown and the N edge is truncated by a field boundary. Another rath (SL027-008----) lies c. 30m to SW.

• SL027-163001 Crannog
  Description

  In boggy ground, at the W end of a former lake named 'Castle Lough' on the 1838 OS 6-inch map and below the former shoreline. Views are restricted due to the surrounding drumlins. A roughly circular low-mound crannog (17m N-S; 18.5m E-W; H 1.1m), indicated by a broken circle on the 1910-11 OS 6-inch map. The surface in the centre is fairly even with only a few stones exposed and it slopes gently down towards the edges. Two depressions were noted, the larger (7m N-S; 8m E-W; D 0.2m) at the SW edge, the smaller (1.5m N-S) at the SE edge. Just inside the E edge are two piles of stones, 1.5m apart (N pile: 1.65m N-S; 1.3m E-W: S pile: 2.45m N-S; 1.2m E-W). The piles, which face the lake, may represent an entrance. The edge of the crannog drops c. 0.45m sharply in all directions and is skirted by a 4m long chain of subangular stones (diam. 0.4m) along the NE arc. The crannog is generally overgrown with grass and surrounded by a band (Wth 7m) of high rushes that may indicate its full extent. A lacustrine enclosure (SL027-163003-) is c. 100m to NE. 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).

• SL027-163003 Enclosure
  Description

  In a wet meadow at the foot of a drumlin, SE of a small natural island and c. 100m NE of a crannog (SL027-163001-). A semicircular area (C c. 64m) defined by a wall (max. H 0.75m) of large stones piled on top of each other in at least three layers. The enclosure is open to the S where it faces the former lake, Castle Lough. 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).
