• SL028-001 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  In a clearing in a coniferous forest, on a slight S-facing slope. An oval flat-topped cairn (4.5m x 3.3m; H 0.5m), the NW side of which has been partially removed by a drain. According to O'Rorke ([1889], vol. 2, 275), this is possibly the site of 'Bruidne Da Derga', the fortress of King Conaire, which with Conaire himself is said to have been burned to ashes by enemies. There are no visible remains of the limekiln indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map in the immediate vicinity. 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).

• SL028-002 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on the S-facing slope of a drumlin to NW of a stream. A raised oval area (int. diam. 27m x 18m) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.5m) with an external fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.3m) along the W and N arcs. There is an entrance (Wth 1.5m) at N. A NW-SE field boundary truncates the rath at ENE. The rath is densely overgrown with deciduous trees.

• SL028-011 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In poor pasture, on a slight SW-facing slope. A slightly raised roughly circular area (diam. 25m) defined by a scarp (H 0.7m) SE-W and by an earth and stone bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.4m) W-ENE. The bank is truncated by a NE-SW field boundary along the E arc. The interior is undulating and poached by cattle.

• SL028-012 Castle - motte
  Description

  In undulating rough pasture, on the NNW end of a narrow ridge taking advantage of steep natural slopes. The motte is a roughly D-shaped area enclosed by an earthen bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.55m) NE-NW, and defined NW-NE, on its straight side, by a steep scarp (H 3.8m; Wth 7m). The bank lies on top of a steep natural slope, which augments its height. The interior/summit (15m N-S; 14m E-W) is level and under grass. The bailey (SL028-014----) lies immediately to N and consists of a roughly oval area (37m N-S; 33m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 0.55m; ext. H 2.5m) with an external fosse (base Wth 2.4m), and a counterscarp bank (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.2m) which is evident NE-N. There is a possible entrance at SW where a curving ramp (Wth 4m) cuts through the bank. The interior surface of the bailey is gently undulating and under grass. The wall of an adjacent graveyard (SL028-013----) overlies the fosse SW-WNW. A moated site (SL028-016001-) lies c. 250m to E in the adjacent townland of Carrowmore.

• SL028-013 Graveyard
  Description

  In rough pasture, in a hollow abutting the SW side of a motte and bailey (SL028-012----; SL028-014----). A rectangular graveyard (40m NW-SE; 25m NE-SW) enclosed by a drystone wall. It contains mainly 20th-century and a few 19th-century headstones, including six round-headed grave-markers with curved shoulders. It has recently been extended to the SE. On the 1838 OS 6-inch map it is indicated as a square area (c. 25m N-S; c. 25m E-W) separate from the motte and bailey.
