- SL026-091 Enclosure
Description
In mature coniferous plantation in level poorly drained ground on the E bank of the Owenmore River. A strip (Wth 8m) of waterlogged grass and rushes separates the NW perimeter from the river. A large circular enclosure (62m N-S) defined by a low earthen bank and a shallow external fosse. The enclosure is planted with coniferous trees in rows c. 2m apart on a roughly N-S axis. The bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.75m) survives as a broad low earthen rise with a gently rounded top and broadly slumped sides. The fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.3m) is evident as a shallow depression marked in parts by pools of water. The 1913 OS 6-inch map shows a wide break in the bank NE-E but this area is engulfed in a thicket of fallen trees and overgrowth and was impossible to inspect. The interior is level. Small pools of water occur in parts within the interior and there is an area of particularly boggy ground at E. A low field boundary (Wth 2m; H 0.5m) and an infilled drain (Wth c. 2m) extend to E from the SE edge of the enclosure. 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).

- SL026-093 Designed landscape - tree-ring
Description
Listed in the SMR (1989) and RMP (1995) and classified 'Enclosure'. In a hollow, c. 100m S of the Owenmore River. Indicated on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a roughly rectangular area planted with trees and on the 1913 edition as a circular area, also planted with trees. Upstanding remains comprise a subcircular area (int. diam. 27m) enclosed by a low broad earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.5m). Traces of an external fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.4m) are evident along the SE arc. Mature horse-chestnut trees grow within the interior. This is likely to be post-1700 AD in date.
