• SL002-014001 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Rubble-built structure (dims. 4.8m W-E; 5.1m N-S) resembling an unroofed bee-hive hut, with an entrance on the NW side and a number of steps down into the holy well (1.25m x 1.2m), which is dedicated to St. Bridget. On one of these steps two latin crosses have been inscribed. On the SW exterior side it is surmounted by a 20th century pebble-dash grotto with effigy of St. Bridget. At the NE corner of the well house is a cross-inscribed pillar stone (SL002-014003-).

• SL002-014003 Cross-inscribed pillar
  Description

  Located in the interior of an enclosure (SL002-014004-), adjacent to a holy well (SL002-014001-). This cross-inscribed pillar consists of a roughly rectangular sandstone block (H 0.85m; Wth 0.28m; T 0.17m at base). The outline of a Latin cross (H 0.46m; Wth across arms 0.18m) is incised on one smooth broad face of the stone, occupying over half the available space on the stone surface. At the junction of the arms and the shaft, there is a central circle (diam. 0.025m) defined by an incised line and enclosed by two outer incised rings (outer diam. 0.075m). The short arms extend 0.05m on either side of the concentric circles, and their engraved outline each encloses a square panel filled with two incised diagonal crossed lines or ‘X’. Each ‘X’ fills the entire available space, from corner to corner of its panel. This ‘X’ motif is also found on the long, lower portion of the shaft (H 0.28m; Wth 0.10-0.12m) which is divided by incised transverse lines into three panels. The uppermost, smallest panel is blank. Below that is a larger, rectangular panel within which there are two incised ‘X’s, one above the other. The upper ‘X’ is larger and more elongated than the lower one. The third and lowermost panel is roughly square and is also filled with an ‘X’. The short portion of the shaft, which extends above the junction with the arms, consists of a roughly square panel (H 0.05m; Wth 0.05m) containing an incised swastika (max. dim. c. 0.035m). An incised line, describing a semicircle (H 0.085m; Wth 0.1m), arcs over the top of the cross shaft. A drawing of the cross published by Wakeman (1880, 376) shows that each terminal of this incised arch curled into a spiral. These spirals are no longer clearly visible. Lichen covers much of the stone surface.

• SL002-014004 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, on the western outskirts of Cliffony village, located on gently elevated ground. To NNW there is a gradual fall of ground towards a flat expanse of machair. Sand dunes intervene between the machair plain and the sea, which is located c. 1km from the enclosure. This enclosure consists of a circular area (diam. 54m) enclosed by an earthen bank. The bank (Wth c. 5m; int. H 1.35m; ext. H 2m, at NW) is best preserved at WSW–NNW where it consists of a substantial, grass-covered rise, with a broadly slumped inner slope, and a high and rather vertical-faced external slope. Elsewhere around the circuit, the bank is severely degraded, and is evident only as a low earthen rise topped with later drystone walling. The S quarter of the interior is at a slightly higher level with a gently slope down to N. A wall, evident as a grass-covered rise (Wth 1.5-3m; H 0.5m, at NW), curves in an arc from the enclosing bank at NE to the enclosing bank at NNW, partitioning off a semi-circular area (c. 25-30m E-W; 20m N–S) in the N third of the interior. Within this subdivision, there is a holy well (SL002-014001-), dedicated to St. Bridget, and a cross-inscribed pillar (SL002-014003-). A drystone field wall (Wth 0.8m; H 0.6m), bisect the enclosure centrally on a NNW–SSE axis, dividing it into two properties. The holy well (SL002-014001-) is located on the E side of the property division.` Attached images: SL002-014004-_01.JPG Enclosure viewed from N, showing enclosing bank.

• SL002-015 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture with especially good views to N. Raised, originally circular, area (int. diam. 23m W-E), enclosed by a degraded bank with evidence for a possible fosse at W. The bank has been incorporated into linear NE-SW field boundaries from W-N-NE and from E-S-SSW. Original entrance not recognisable. The interior slopes from E to W. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 08 March 2013

• SL002-017 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough pasture affording good views to the N. Raised circular area (diam. 21m N-S) enclosed from N-E-S by a bank of earth and stone (Wth. 1m; int. H 2m; ext. H 4m - 5m). No fosse. The portion of the bank located in W half of the rath was removed in 1989. Original entrance not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 08 March 2013

• SL002-058 Bullaun stone
  Description

  In Cliffony village, in the garden of a private house. This bullaun stone consists of a sandstone boulder (0.5m by 0.6m; H 0.5m) which is squarish in shape and profile, with rounded corners. The sides are relatively vertical, with a rough, uneven finish, and the top/upper surface (0.5m by 0.48m) is flat and smooth. There is a circular hollow (diam. 0.25m; D 0.15-0.2m) in the centre of the upper surface. The hollow appears to be relatively straight-sided, with the sides inclining inward slightly to meet a flattish base. According to local information, this bullaun stone came from Agharrow townland, somewhere in the vicinity of Staad Abbey (SL005-022001-); however, its exact provenance is uncertain. Notified to NMS by Leo Leyden. Attached images: SL002-058----_01.JPG SL002-058----_02.JPG: Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 25 February 2019
