Recorded monuments

• SL008-088 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated in low-lying level wet pasture. Slightly raised roughly circular area (diam. 25m) enclosed by a low broad bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.35m; int. H 0.35m). At the external foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 4.7m; D 0.3m). From NE-ESE the bank has been removed. A NNW-ESE orientated field bank, with a drain on the E side, crosses the E side of the site intersecting with the bank of the rath at NNW and at ESE; the rath has been levelled to the E of this boundary. From NW-ESE the fosse is absent. An E-W orientated drain, now silted up, has been cut along the line of the absent fosse NNW-NE. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011

There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank has been removed from SW-NW and has been replaced by a N-S orientated drain.

• SL008-135 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on level summit of a broad E-W orientated ridge in pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 31m) enclosed by a broad bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.4m; int. H 0.2m).

It is absent NW-NNE where an ENE-WSW orientated field boundary has been constructed upon it. A break (Wth 8m) in the bank, and a modern ramp to the exterior, at SSE marks the position of the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011

• SL008-182 Road - road/trackway
  Description

  This record was listed in the SMR(1989) as 'routeway' based on a reference in O'Rorke (1890, 45-8). It is listed in the RMP (1995) as 'road'. It appears to refer to a routeway, indicated by dashed lines on the 1836-7 OS 6-inch map, which extends for c. 1.4km across the sand flats in Druncliffe Bay between Doonierin townland on the S shore and Coolbeg townland on the N shore. It was used at low tide to cross the bay, and joins paved roads on dryland on both the N and S shores. On the N shore a castle (SL008-069----) and salt pans (SL008-068----) are located on the shoreline flanking the dryland road. No trace of any man-made structure is apparent across the sandflats on the line of the route. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 14 December 2016

• SL008-202001 Burnt mound
  Description

  In pasture, in the NW corner of a field of flat, damp ground. There is a spring well/holy well (SL008-202002-) immediately to NE. A low, grass-covered roughly D-shaped mound (c. 15m N–S; c. 10m E–W) defined by a curving scarp at NNW–S. The scarp is more pronounced (H 0.6m) at NNW–NE but peters out to a barely discernible rise toward the S. The straight side of the mound at W is created by a N–S land drain (Wth top 2.5-3m, Wth base 0.8-1m; D 1.2m) which truncates the SW quadrant of the mound. Angular, heat-shattered stones in a black, charcoal-rich matrix are visible in section in the side of the drain for almost its full depth. It is probable that the burnt mound extends to W beneath a N–S farm road which borders the W side of the drain. Fencing and a small concrete pump house at the spring well appear to truncate the N-NE edge of the mound.

• SL008-202002 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  In pasture, on the NW side of a field of flat, damp ground. According to local information, this well is associated with St. Columcille and is visited annually on the saint’s feast day, the 9th of June. It consists of a natural spring enclosed by a rectangular surround (1m NNW–SSE; 0.7m ESE–WSW; D 0.2m) of concrete and stones. A stream flows N from the well for a few meters and then turns to W. There is a concrete pump house immediately to S of the well. The well is located in the SE corner of a square fenced enclosure (c. 8m N–S; c. 8m E–W), with a wooden gate giving access at the W. The enclosure is thickly ringed with willow scrub and brambles, with an ash tree and a hawthorn bush close to the well at SW. There is a burnt mound (SL008-202001-) immediately to SW.
