Recorded monuments
- SL016-013001 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a low hillock in undulating pasture. Raised circular area (31.5m E-W; 30m N-S) enclosed by a low bank (Wth 4.6m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.8m) of earth and stone. A break (Wth 2m) in the bank at N probably marks original entrance. There is a possible souterrain (SL016-013002-) within enclosed area. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
- SL016-013002 Souterrain
Description
Within a rath (SL016-013001-). A linear depression (L 12m; Wth. 3.4m; D 0.8m) extends from the inner face of the bank at S in a N direction. It probably marks a souterrain but it may also be the result of quarrying. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
- SL016-067 Enclosure
Description
Situated at the NE end of a roughly N-S ridge. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Partially destroyed enclosure. Remains comprise an irregularly-shaped raised area (max. dim. 20m) defined from N-E-SE by a curving scarp. At W the defining element is a disused, but probably relatively modern, linear field boundary aligned NNE-SSW. At S the defining element is a modern linear field boundary aligned ENE-WSW. No bank or fosse. Original entrance not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

Approximately circular, low mound (10.5m E-W; 9.1m N-S; H 0.2m at N, 0.8m at S) composed of densely packed sandstone fragments within a matrix of black charcoally soil.
