Recorded monuments

• SL034-017 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough pasture, in a forest clearing at the NW end of an elevated ridge with extensive views in all directions. The rath was described during a previous site inspection in 1992 as a circular area (diam. 24m) defined by the remains of an inner (Wth 4.5m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.5m) and outer (Wth 1.5m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 1.8m) earthen bank and an intervening fosse (Wth 3m). There was an entrance (Wth 1.6m) noted at SE (SMR (1989) file). The perimeter of the rath is now densely covered with overgrowth and inaccessible, except for a limited area at the centre which is under high grass and rushes. 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).

• SL034-018 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In a clearing in coniferous forest, on a slight NE-facing slope. This rath was described during a previous site inspection in 1992 as a poorly preserved roughly circular area (c. 18m N-S, c. 16m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.3m) with a stone core along the N arc. The remainder of the rath was barely discernible as it had been heavily disturbed by forestry cultivation ridge, a N-S farm track which crosses the E side of the interior and a field boundary which truncates the E perimeter (SMR (1989) file). This rath is now completely inaccessible due to overgrowth. 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).
