Recorded monuments

• SL025-001 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In rough rocky pasture, on the E edge of a terrace on the E-facing slope of a stream valley. A circular area (diam. 23m) enclosed by foundations of a stone wall (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.6m) with internal and external kerbing of large stones. The wall is well defined on the S and SE but ruinous at NW. The interior is highest at the centre and slopes gently down towards the enclosing wall and is crossed by a field boundary on ENE-WSW axis. In the interior, to W of centre, a row of contiguous stones extends 3.4m to NW from field boundary. There is a large slab (L 1.1m; H 0.35m; T 0.35m) on the E side of the NW end. A low arc of a sod-covered wall (Wth 0.6m; H 0.2m), built against the inner face of the cashel wall at N, encloses a roughly semicircular area (5m NE-SW; 3m NW-SE). A second similar arc of sod-covered wall (Wth 0.6m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.1m) extends W-NE from the cashel wall at SSW. 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).

• SL025-163 Barrow - mound barrow
  Description

  In rocky pasture, on a slight rise 7m S of a stream. A circular flat-topped mound (diam. at base c. 7m, at top 5m; max. H 1.2m) with a stone kerb (H 0.5m) evident SW-N. The mound is highest NE-SE where it merges with a natural break in slope but is low (H 0.5m) elsewhere. On the flat top of the mound are two roughly parallel lines of stones (long axes NW-SE), c. 2m apart. The NE line consists of two contiguous slabs (NW stone L 1.4m; Wth 0.24m; H 0.1m, SE stone L 0.95m; Wth 0.12m; H 0.15m). The SW line consists of one prominent stone (L 1m; Wth 0.12m; H 0.4m) at the NW end and at least five smaller barely discernible stones. A hawthorn tree grows on the perimeter of the mound at S. 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).
