Recorded monuments

• SL041-019 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  On a rocky NE-facing slope, in a natural rock outcrop at the base of a near vertical cliff. Two large horizontal slabs of rock, the lower of which projects 0.6m out from under the upper on the NE side. The lower slab is level and has a small roughly D-shaped round-bottomed depression (0.33m by 0.37m; D 0.1m), that appears to be natural, on its upper surface. Water flows from between the two slabs into the depression via a short V-shaped channel (L 0.2m; Wth top 0.03m; D 0.02m) at the SW and exits through a small notch on the NE side. There is no evidence to indicate recent holy use. 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).

• SL041-021 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough pasture. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m). 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).

• SL041-022 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In pasture, located on a roughly oval ,SW-facing terrace on the W slope of a low N-S ridge, in an area of sharply undulating terrain broken by limestone outcropping. At the SW–W edge of the terrace, the slope drops into a relatively narrow, natural NNW-SSE depression, on the opposite side of which ground rises again to another broad ridge. A previous inspection in 1993 found that the cashel was densely engulfed in overgrowth which impeded examination (Egan et al. 2005, 148, no. 820). Since then, it has been largely cleared of scrub. It consists of a roughly oval area (27m NW–SE; 19.5m NE–SW), which conforms to the natural shape of the terrace. The perimeter at NE–SE is defined by an inward-facing scarp or slope (H 1.7m; Wth slope c. 4m), roughly defined on its upper edge, which coincides with the level ridge top, by stones, boulders and tree stumps. At SW–W the perimeter is bordered by a fall of ground, and is partly defined by limestone outcropping. Remnants of an original enclosing wall can still be traced at the NNW and SE edges of the terrace: At NNW a short length (L 5m) of wall footings (Wth 1.55m) remains in situ, and on the SE arc a low moss-covered stony rise (Wth c. 1.4m) is evident. The interior slopes down from NE to SW, mirroring the natural slope of the terrace, levelling out in the S third of the enclosure. The ground surface is rough and uneven, broken by outcropping and strewn with loose stones, with small clumps of brambles, blackthorn and hawthorn scrub in parts.

• SL041-023 Souterrain
  Description

  In gently undulating pasture, on a level area with a steep natural break of slope to the S. The lintelled entrance (Wth 0.45m; H 0.2m) to the souterrain is located at the base of the S side of a drystone field boundary wall and is largely blocked by earth and stone making access impossible. According to local information, a passage extends N for 12m from the entrance to another access point which is now blocked and evident as a depression (1m x 1m; D 0.3m). Burnt and unburnt animal bones were noted in spoil around the depression during a previous inspection in 1993 (SMR (1989) file). The area between both entrances is disturbed by badger sets. A hut site (SL041-053----) lies c. 65m to NE. 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).

• SL041-040 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In undulating pasture. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m) and on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a hachured arc (C c. 30m) W-NE. 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).

• SL041-053 Hut site
  Description

  In rocky pasture, built against a rock outcrop at the edge of a slope. The remains of an oval hut (int. diam. 8m x 5.9m), the walls (T 1.5m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.3m) of which are constructed of stone slabs set on their sides. The N arc is defined by rock outcrop. A souterrain (SL041-023----) lies c. 65m to SW. 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).

• SL041-055 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In the NE corner of a modern subrectangular pasture field, located at the NW edge of a low flat-topped ridge, in an area of sharply undulating terrain broken by limestone outcropping. This greatly ruined enclosure, possibly a cashel, is not shown on the 1838 and 1914 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a subcircular area defined at NW–SSE by levelled remnants of a drystone wall. The original diameter is uncertain, possibly 35m. The surviving arc of enclosing wall is evident as a low, broadly slumped moss-covered stony rise (Wth c. 2m; int. H 0.1-0.2m; ext. H 0.4-0.45m). At NE–ESE the outer edge of the wall is incorporated into a N–S field fence/hedgerow which more or less respects the curve of the enclosure. The enclosing wall cannot be traced with certainty on the W arc; it may coincide with a break of slope, where there is a natural fall of ground. A farm track skirts the base of this slope at S–SW. A later N–S field wall, now reduced to low, moss-covered wall footings (Wth 0.8-1m; H 0.1-0.2m), cuts through the W sector of the cashel. It appears to intersect with a perpendicular wall, also ruined, which extending to E through the SE quadrant of the cashel. Surface spreads of loose stones to E of the N–S wall appear to result from efforts to levelling it. In the NE quadrant another concentration of stones, c. 5m across, is focused on a slightly sunken feature, obscured by overgrowth. Notified to NMS by Brain Doyle.
