- SL016-001001 Cliff-edge fort
Description
Situated at a cliff edge c. 15m above sea level, overlooking Kilalla Bay. D-shaped raised area (70m NE-SW; 45m NW-SE). Its straight side, from SW-NNW, is defined by the steep sea cliff. The remainder is enclosed by four banks of earth and stone with external fosses. The innermost bank (Wth 8m; int. H 0.8m) and fosse (Wth 11.4m; D 3.2m) are the most substantial. At the outer edge of the fosse are two less substantial banks and fosses. At the outer edge of the 3rd fosse is a berm (Wth 2.5-3m). Beyond this are the fourth and least sunstantial bank (Wth 3.5m; H 0.5m) and fosse (Wth 2.4m; D 0.6-0.9m). A stone-lined break (Wth 2.4m) in the inner bank at S, with a causeway across inner fosse and corresponding breaks in the other banks, represents the original entrance. A series of large flat slabs extend from the entrance to the centre of the enclosed area. From there they curve off in a W direction ending at the cliff edge. Their purpose appears to be to separate the SW quadrant, which is raised 0.5m - 0.7m, from the remainder. Within the SW quadrant are the fragmentary remains of three circular hut sites (SL016-001002-; SL016-001003-; SL013-001004-). One is located only 2m back from the cliff edge. In the SE quadrant are the remains of a possible fourth hut site (SL016-001005-). Remains of a possible souterrain (SL SL016-0010006-) are visible in section in the cliff face at the NW edge of the enclosure. A series of disused field boundaries and enclosures (SL016-001007-) are located 30m to N. The enclosure is named 'Cahermore' on the 1913 OS 6-inch map, and is traditionally associated with the O'Caoimhin family. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

Description
Within the SW quadrant of a cliff-edge fort (SL016-001001-). Circular hut site (diam. 3-4m ) defined by a low bank of sod-covered stones.

- SL016-001006 Souterrain
Description
At a cliff-edge fort (SL016-001001-). According to tradition, there is a souterrain in the enclosure (OS Name Books, 461). Part of a vertical drystone wall is visible in section in the exposed cliff face at the NW edge of the enclosure. This may be part of a souterrain. Compiled by: Patrick F.

- SL016-001007 Field system
Description
Situated 30m N of a cliff-edge fort (SL016-001001-). Between the base of a hillock and the cliff edge are the remains of a series of disused small fields and enclosures defined by low banks of earth and stone. The complex is bordered at N by a modern NW-SE field boundary. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
- SL016-023 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a rise in undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 17m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3-3.4m; int H 0.6-0.8m; ext. H 1.1m-1.8m) with an external fosse (Wth 2.4m; ext. D 0.8m) which is evident only at SW. Two large quarry holes cut through the bank at N and NNE. A stone-lined break (Wth. 2.2m) in the bank at E marks the original entrance. A short distance S of the centre of the enclosed area is a low, sod-covered mound (dims. 5m x 3m), probably field clearance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
- SL016-025 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated at the S edge of a ridge of high ground in undulating pasture. Raised oval-shaped area (c. 38m N-S; c. 28m E-W) enclosed at S–W by remnants of an earthen bank (Wth 3-4m; max. H 1m; ext. H 1.2m). At N the bank is levelled and at E it is reduced to a scarp (ext. H 1.6m) merging with the natural ridge slope. At W a quarry hole (9m E–W; 7m N–S) extends through the bank into the enclosed area. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
