Recorded monuments

• SL038-028001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on the S-facing slope of a low hill which forms a dry island in a bog. A raised roughly oval area (36.8m N-S; 24m E-W) defined SW-NE by a narrow earthen bank with a slight internal lip (Wth 1.2m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.85m) and elsewhere by a vertical scarp (H 0.65m) indenting slightly at E. The remains of an outer bank (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1m) and a narrow intervening fosse (Wth 1.2m) are evident only NE-SE, both following the indentation of the scarp. There are gaps in the bank at SSW (Wth 0.6m), SW (Wth 0.8m) and NE (Wth 1.7m). The 1941-2 OS 6-inch map and aerial photographs (IASAP, 3034217-8; GSIAP, G 225-4) show a continuation of the external bank for c. 15m to S to intersect with adjoining field boundaries but this has now been levelled. The interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope but still retains a slope down to S and SE. A circular enclosure (SL038-028003-) lies c. 20m to S in the adjoining field. 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).

• SL038-028002 Field system
  Description

  Listed in both the SMR (1989) and RMP (1995) and classified 'Enclosure' and 'Field System' respectively. In pasture, straddling the base of a S-facing slope and c. 20m S of a rath (SL038-028001-). Indicated as a large roughly rectangular field (c. 45m E-W; c. 40m N-S) on the 1838 and 1941-2 editions of the OS 6-inch map with straight W, N and E sides and an irregular S side. The 1838 map shows the circular enclosure (SL038-028003-) partially within the SW corner of this field. The present remains consist of a large field enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 2m). The interior is divided in two on a N-S axis by a slightly curving E-facing scarp following a break in slope. Projecting from the S side of the field is a rectangular platform or possible house site and immediately to the E of this is a sunken trackway (Wth 3m), bordered on its E side by an earthen bank, which extends for several metres to the S. Parallel to and c. 30m W of this is a field boundary. In the intervening space are a number of low irregular hummocks, possibly the remains of houses. This is probably a 19th-century field system or deserted settlement. Compiled by: Archaeological Survey Unit, UCC Date of download: 05 January 2012

• SL038-028003 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, straddling the base of a S-facing slope and at the SW corner of a large rectangular field. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 15m) and also faintly visible in an aerial photograph (IASAP, 3034217-8). It is not visible at ground level. A rath (SL038-028001-) is c. 20m to N in the adjoining field. 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).

• SL038-140 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In pasture, at the base of a W-facing slope bordering a broad flat expanse of bogland and c. 120m E of a river. A low oval mound of heat-shattered stones and dark soil (14.5m N-S; c. 10.7m E-W; H 0.6m) which merges with gently rising ground to E. There is a circular depression (diam. 3m; D 0.25m) in the NW quadrant and a less clearly defined depression (3m WNW-ESE; 2.4m NNE-SSW) at W; both may be the result of recent disturbance. Two burnt spreads (SL038-141----; SL038-142---- ) lie c. 140m and c. 260m to N respectively.
