• SL018-025001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on top of an E-W ridge in pasture. Raised circular area (diam. c. 32m) enclosed at S–W by an earthen bank (Wth 3.7m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.45m) and at WNW–N by a low scarp, levelled to a slight undulation at NNE–SSE. At the outer foot of the bank at S–WNW is a fosse (Wth 2.4m) and outer bank (Wth. c. 4.4m; ext. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.45m). Immediately outside the outer bank are a disused trackway and a field fence which skirt the rath at S–NNW. Within the W half of the interior is a collapsed souterrain (SL018-025002-).

• SL018-025002 Souterrain
  Description

  At a rath (SL018-025001-). On the line of the levelled inner bank of the rath at W is a hollow area (max. dim. 3m). A linear depression (Wth 1.5m; D 0.6m) extends E for 3m from the hollow into the interior. From here it turn S for c. 4m and then extends SE for a further c. 4m. These remains are probably those of a collapsed souterrain. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL018-026 Enclosure
  Description

Large ovoid enclosure (dims. 105m NW-SE; 55.5m NE-SW) defined by a low, heather-covered bank of peat and stones (Wth. 2.1m; H 0.5m). The internal ground level is uneven.

• SL018-059001 Stone circle
  Description

  Situated on a low rise in an area of rough, boggy pasture. Not marked on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map; indicated as 'Stone Circle' on the 1913 edition. Circular area (diam. 10.5m) defined by a series of small, low closely-set stones (H 0.2-0.3m). The stones are almost entirely obscured by vegetation. A possible stone row (SL018-059002-), in the form of an intermittent line of low stones, extends for c. 35m to SW to an enclosure (SL018-058002-), within which there is a court tomb (SL018-058001-). A fulacht fiadh (SL018-086----) lies 7m N of the stone circle. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL018-059002 Stone row
  Description

  Situated in rough, boggy terrain. Not marked on the 1837 or the 1913 OS 6-inch maps. An intermittent row of low stones extends, on a NE–SW axis, between the SE side of an enclosure (SL018-058002-) and the SW side of a possible stone circle (SL018-059001-), a distance of c. 35m. The line of stones appears to continue for c. 5m to NE of the stone circle. The stones appear to be set on edge but are very low, and are concealed by, or barely protruding above, the bog vegetation. At the SW end of their extent, close to the enclosure (SL018-058002-), the stones are 1-2m apart but the spacing increases to c. 10m as they approach the stone circle (SL018-059001-). To the NE of the stone circle the stones are again more closely spaced. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL018-060 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated in undulating rough, boggy pasture. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Identified from an aerial photograph (GSI G109-10, Roll 157, print.32). Naturally-occurring, oval-shaped rise or small hillock (60.5m E-W; 54.5m N-S; H 1.6-1.8m) enclosed around its base by a low bank (Wth c. 2m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.6-0.8m). The top of the enclosed rise, within the W half of the enclosure, comprises a relatively level roughly circular space (diam. 12m), possibly scarped on the E side. Within this level space, on the NW side, there is a circular pit (diam. c. 4m; D 0.8m), waterlogged in its base, and partly obscured by overgrowth. Compiled by: Patrick F.
