Recorded monuments

• SL012-008001 Hilltop enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, encompassing the highest point on a ridge-top plateau. When approached from S the elevated position is not appreciated, however at N−NE there is a steep fall of ground, which then levels out somewhat to a more gradual slope extending to the rocky coastline 800m away. The location provides extensive views along a strip of coastal pasture, the shoreline and out to sea. Knocknarae is visible to E and the Ox Mountains form the skyline to S. Oval area (126.8m N–S; 111.2m E–W) defined by a broad, flat-based fosse (Wth 5m at top, 2.8m at base; int. D 1.75m, at S) with a substantial external bank (Wth 6.4-6.8m; int. H 2m; ext. H 1.35m, at S). Stone facing is evident on the inner face of the bank at N–NE and W-NW, but this may be relatively modern in date. The original entrance may be at the SE where there is a causeway (Wth 2m) across the fosse, with a corresponding gap in the external bank, now blocked by a low modern field bank. At the S, another section (Wth 4.6m) of the fosse has been partly infilled to form a shallow causeway, leading to two breaks (Wth 1m) in the external bank, separated by a remnant of a field bank that extends to S. The W half of the interior is relatively level, but the E half slopes down from W to E, reflecting the natural ridge slope. Located slightly off-centre to NE within the interior, straddling the slope described above, there is a smaller enclosure (SL012-008002-), now partly levelled. This second enclosure (diam. 61.6m N–S; 52m E–W) occupies much of the internal space in the centre of the larger hilltop enclosure, leaving a clear space of c. 25-30m between it and the enclosing fosse of the larger enclosure. In the NW quadrant of the hilltop enclosure, there is a Napoleonic Era stone-built signal tower (SL012-008003-). A field fence, on a roughly E–W axis, cuts through the N half of the both the hilltop enclosure and the smaller enclosure. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 1 April 2015

• SL012-008002 Enclosure
  Description

  Located in the centre of a hilltop enclosure (SL012-008001-). Slightly raised, oval area (61.6m N–S; 52m E–W) defined by a levelled, broadly-slumped bank/scarp (ext. H 0.8m at W, 1.4m at E), and enclosed by an external fosse (Wth 3m), evident as a shallow depression. The interior of the enclosure slopes down from W to E, mirroring the slope within the larger hilltop enclosure. This enclosure occupies most of the central area of the hilltop enclosure, leaving a clear space of c. 25-30m between it and the enclosing fosse of the hilltop enclosure. Immediately to NW of the enclosure, located in the NW quadrant of the larger enclosure, there is a Napoleonic Era signal tower (SL012-008003-).

• SL012-009001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on the E-facing slope of a N-S ridge in pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 24m) enclosed by a partly levelled bank of earth and stone (Wth. 3.3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.1m at S, 2m at E). No fosse. Original entrance not recognisable. A linear depression in the NW quadrant may mark a collapsed souterrain (SL012-009002-). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL012-009002 Souterrain
  Description

  At a rath (SL012-009001-). Extending S into the internal area from the inner face of the rath bank at NW is a linear depression (L 10m; Wth. 2-3.5m; D 0.5m) which may mark the site of a collapsed souterrain. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL012-010 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated atop an E-W ridge in pasture overlooking Sligo Bay c.100m NE. Raised circular area (diam. 34m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth. 3m; H 0.7m) which has been modified and incorporated into the field boundary from E-S-SW. No fosse. Breaks in bank at N, NE, SE and SW but original entrance not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL012-124 Midden
  Description

  Visible in section at top of a cliff at the W end of a shingle beach. There is a ruined vernacular stone cottage immediately to W of the cliff edge. A thin layer (L c. 2.5m N–S; D c. 0.1-0.15m) of periwinkle and limpet shells is visible in section directly beneath the sod layer which caps the cliff. The shell layer is located in the upper levels of a band of stony soil resting directly on the bedrock strata which drops in a vertical cliff face (H c. 3.5-4m) to the shingle beach. The density of shells is meagre. Toward the S end of the layer, a single animal bone and the bowl of a clay pipe are visible. The midden was probably associated with the cottage located 10m to W.
