• SL032-069 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a break, in a W-facing slope. An arc (C c. 30m) of an earthen bank (Wth 3m; H 0.9m), evident E-S and enclosing the corner of a field, appears to form the E quadrant of a large rath. The rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked roughly circular area (diam. c. 25m), truncated along the N arc by a NE-SW field boundary. It is indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as described above with the arc of the bank indicated as a hachured scarp. 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).

• SL032-070001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On level ground, on the N-facing slope of a ridge. An oval area (30m N-S; 37m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.3m) S-W and by a scarp (H 0.7m) elsewhere. An intervening dry flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 7.6m) separates the inner bank and the scarp from a middle flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 4.7m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.75m). The middle bank is separated from an outer bank by a dry flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.3m) which survives all round except at SE. The outer bank (Wth 2m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.3m) is evident N-ESE and contains large stones. The interior is overgrown with bushes and in the centre is a possible hut site (SL032-007003-) and an associated possible souterrain (SL032-070002-).

• SL032-073001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a gentle SE-facing slope. A raised circular area (37m N-S) defined by an earthen bank with an external fosse. The bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1m) is reduced on top to a low internal rim but has a pronounced external scarp. Occasional stones protrude randomly along the top of the bank. A section of the bank along the SW arc is higher and more substantial where it is incorporated into the line of a property fence. The shallow external fosse (Wth 3-3.5m) survives all round except to SW where it is truncated by a field boundary. A section of the fosse at N is infilled with fieldstones. There is a gap (Wth 1m) in the bank at NE with a corresponding causeway-like infilled section of the fosse (Wth 3-3.5m). The interior slopes very gently down to SE. In the centre there is a low sod-covered circular rise (diam. 7.9m NW-SE; 8.6m NE-SW; H 0.35-4m at NW; 0.6m at SE). The remains of NE-SW cultivation ridges cross the interior and are also evident on a NW-SE axis in the surrounding field to NE. There is a souterrain (SL032-073002-) in the NW quadrant.

• SL032-073002 Souterrain
  Description

  In the NW quadrant of a rath (SL032-073001-). A subrectangular depression (2.5m NE-SW; 2.2m NW-SE; D 0.5m), with vertical sides from which stones protrude randomly, may indicate a collapsed souterrain.

• SL032-141001 Church
  Description

  In pasture, on a nearly level terrace on the S-facing slope of a ridge; within the W half of a possible graveyard (SL032-141002-) and at the centre of a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (SL032-141003-). A rectangular structure (int. 12.35m E-W; 5.2m N-S) outlined by the sod-covered base of a wall (Wth 1.5-1.7m; H 0.2-0.6m) except on the S side where only a scarp remains. This structure is not indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map but its size and orientation, and its location suggest it may be the remains of a small church.

  Description

  Within a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (SL032-141003-), just slightly E of the centre. A roughly trapezoidal area (35.5m E-W; 25m N-S at E end; 20m N-S at W end) defined by the grass-covered foundations of a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 2.5-3.3m; H 0.2-0.5m). The wall along the W end is slightly curved. The W half of the interior is raised 0.6m above the E half and contains a possible church (SL032-141001-). No grave-plots or grave-markers are evident. The graveyard is not indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map.

• SL032-141003 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  A large oval enclosure (105m ENE-WSW; 97m NNW-SSE) (visible on an aerial photograph GSIAP, G 262-3) defined by a collapsed sod-covered stone wall (Wth 1.2-1.5m; max. H 0.6m) S-SW, by a low rise at WNW and N-NNE, and by a slight scarp NE-E. The enclosing element appears to be incorporated into the field boundary system NW-NNW. A linear NNW-SSE field boundary truncates it at W. A second field boundary (on a NNW-SSE axis) bisects the interior off-centre to SW. A possible church (SL032-141001-) and a possible graveyard (SL032-141002-) are situated in the interior off-centre to the E and a souterrain (SL032-141005-) occurs in the SW sector. Also in the interior, off-centre to the W, are the possible remains of a limekiln (SL032-141004-). A hut site (SL032-141006-) lies c. 50m to the SW. This enclosure is not indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map.

• SL032-141004 Kiln - lime
  Description

  Listed in the SMR (1989) and RMP (1995) and classified 'Mound'. On a gentle S-facing slope, within a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (SL032-141003-) and c. 10m W of a possible graveyard (SL032-141002-). A small mound (7.5m N-S; 7.3m E-W; H 0.6m) of earth and stone which is square in plan with rounded corners. At roughly the centre of the top of the mound is a shallow depression (diam. 2.5m; D 0.3m) defined on its N and S sides by a slightly raised rim. Remnants of a field boundary extend to S from the NW corner. The function of this mound is not known but it may be the remains of a limekiln or a feature of relatively recent date.

• SL032-141005 Souterrain
  Description

  Adjacent to the SW wall of and within an ecclesiastical enclosure (SL032-141003-). Two blocked openings, 6m apart, suggest that the souterrain was orientated NW-SE.
