Recorded monuments

• SL039-015 Moated site
  Description

  In low-lying waterlogged ground, c. 50m W of the Owenmore River. A raised trapezoidal area (int. diam. 28.2m N-S; 22.5m E-W) enclosed by two earthen banks (inner bank: Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.9m) with intervening and external fosses. A third, flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 2.9m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.3m) is evident on the S side only. The middle bank (Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.8m) is broad and flat-topped. The entrance (Wth 2.9m) is at W. The interior is level and grass-covered. Two possible leats, visible in an aerial photograph (IASAP, 3043060), extend westwards from the inner fosse on the S side. (see aerial photograph in Timoney and Timoney 2001, 22) 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).

• SL039-169 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on the level top of a low hill/drumlin at a bend in the Owenmore River which loops around the E side of the hill. There are good views along the river valley, and over the surrounding undulating landscape. It is overlooked by a higher hill c. 400m to W. This rath is not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch map, but is visible in aerial imagery. A grass-covered circular platform (31.6m N−S; 34m E−W) defined by a scarp (H 0.5-0.6m at N & S, 0.75m at E). The scarp is low for most of the circuit, with a gradual break of slope between the top and sides, suggesting that it has been partly levelled out in the past. It is more substantial on the E arc where it is enhanced by a gentle natural fall of ground. At W the scarp is slighted by a later N-S field bank/hedgerow. A band of damp ground (Wth c. 4m) immediately outside the scarp on the S arc possibly indicates a fosse but it cannot be traced elsewhere. The rath is crossed centrally on an E−W axis by a field bank (Wth 2m) with parallel field ditch (now silted up) (Wth 1.4m; D 0.2-0.3m). A few hawthorn trees grow along the line of the field bank.
