## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- SL040-238001: Fulacht fia, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL040-238001-. In wet pasture, to W of a stream and c. 20m W of a burnt mound (SL040-23802-). This fulacht fia was discovered during the construction of the Curlew bypass and excavated in 1995 (Channing 1998a, 154). It consisted of a spread (c. 12m E-W; c.16m N-S) of burnt stones in a reddish-brown silty clay matrix with a high peat content and occasional flecks of charcoal. The spread was partially truncated by machinery prior to excavation. Excavation revealed a trough (1.8m x 0.95m; D 0.3m), lined with wood, cut into the subsoil. The space between the edges of the trough and the wood lining was filled with a grey daub-like substance while the trough itself was filled with burnt stones. 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). Date of upload: 18 January 2008
- SL040-238002: Burnt mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL040-238002-. In wet pasture, on the W bank of a stream and c. 20m E of a fulacht fia (SL040-238001-). This monument was discovered during the construction of the Curlew bypass and excavated in 1995 (Channing 1998a, 154). A spread (10m x 6m) of burnt stone in a reddish-brown silty clay matrix with a high peat content and occasional flecks of charcoal. Excavation revealed a pit and two post-holes in the N half of the spread. The unlined pit (1.4m E-W; 0.7m N-S; D 0.28m) which was roughly oval in plan was cut into the subsoil, filled with burnt material and did not retain water. The post-holes were found c. 1.2m to E of the pit and both were circular in plan (diam. c. 0.1m; D c. 0.11m). The Red Earl's road (SL033-147---), which is of medieval date, follows the townland boundary immediately to E of the stream. (Channing 1996, 1-9) 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).

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
