H 0.5m) with remains of inner and outer stone facing.

- SL034-224: Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL034-224----. On upland pasture and commanding a view westwards across Lough Arrow to the Bricklieve Mountains. A gallery (L 6m; Wth 1.9m at the front) is represented by three sidestones at its front or WSW end, one on the N side and two on the S side, and by its backstone. Just 0.7m E of the two stones at the S side there is a set stone at right angles to the line of the gallery side which may have functioned as a buttress-stone though it is unusually large for that purpose. About 1m outside the northern sidestone there is an outer-wall stone and 1.3m to the E of it another. Between these and the line of the gallery side there are two more set stones. These seem to represent an intermediate line of walling between the gallery side and the outer-wall. There are a number of prostrate stones at the site. One of these adjoins the N end of the backstone and may be a fallen sidestone. Another at the NW corner of the structure might be a fallen facade-stone. A poorly preserved low mound at the site scarcely extends beyond the confines of the structure. Some uncertainty has been expressed about the classification of this tomb (Ó Nualláin 1989, 64-5, no. 104) but the available indications are that it is a wedge-tomb. 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 See linked document with details from Seán Ó Nualláin, Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland. Volume V. County Sligo. (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1989)
- SL034-246: Kiln - lime, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL034-246----. Not included in the SMR (1989) but listed in the RMP (1995) and classified 'Lime Kiln'. Not marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map. In pasture, built into a natural slope. This is a late 19th-/early 20th-century rectangular stone structure (L 5m; Wth 4m; H 4m) with a splayed recess (Wth 1.8m; H 1.55m; D 1.4m). The funnel (diam. 2.7m) is infilled and the top is visible. This is probably post-1700 AD in date. Compiled by: Archaeological Survey Unit, UCC Date of upload: 11 January 2012

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.
