• SL015-081 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Situated in a hollow at the base of a slight SW-facing slope, on N shore of Lough Gill, in mature deciduous forest. The well consists of a natural spring that has been lined by a roughly rectangular drystone wall (dims. L NW-SE 2m; Wth NE-SW 1.25m; Max Ht 0.6m). An irregular N-S orientated outflow channel (Wth 0.3m; L 2.5m) extends from the S corner of the wall into the lake. The level base of the well is covered with sand, gravel and some rubble rocks. Mature beech trees grow immediately to the E and S of the well with the roots of these trees extending along the SW and SE sides of the wall. Rags tied to these roots indicate that the well is still in use. Wood-Martin (1882, 91-2) attributes the well to St. Connell whose feast day is celebrated on June 2nd. Compiled by: Patrick F.

• SL015-082 Promontory fort - inland
  Description

  Located on a NW-SE orientated broad peninsula that extends from the N shore of Lough Gill in mature mixed deciduous forestry. The main enclosure of the promontory fort is at the SE end of the peninsula consisting a roughly rectangular flat topped natural rock outcrop (dims. 32m NNW-SSE; 24m WNW-ESE) defined by modified natural scarp (ext. H 2-4m). From NW-NE the scarp takes the form of a near vertical irregular quarried rock face (ext. H 2m). From NE-NW the scarp consists of a near vertical earth and stone scarp (ext. H 2-4m) that increases in height from N-S to compensate for the underlying natural slope. The original entrance (Wth 5m) is at N consisting of a set of roughly quarried steps (Wth 1.5-2m: H 0.2-0.3m) cut from the exposed rock face. The entrance is roughly lined on either side, at the base of the scarp defining the platform, with a single row of irregular quarried blocks (av. dims. L 1m; Wth 0.8m; T 0.4m). A roughly circular flat-topped mound (diam. top 2m) defined by a scarp of earth and stone (ext. H 1.8m) is located slightly to S of centre in the interior. The peninsula is traversed by the ENE-WSW orientated footings (L 40m; T. 0.8m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.7m) of a drystone wall located 8.5m to the N of the main enclosure. There is a fosse (Wth 3.3m; D 0.3m) on the N side of the footings. A break (Wth 2.2m) in the wall, with a causeway across the fosse, marks the position of the original entrance. A feature that may be a boat slip or small harbour is located15m to the N of the W end of the wall footings and fosse. The feature consists of a broad U-shaped depression (dims. L ENE-WSW 12m; Wth NNW-ESE 5m; D 1.3-1.6m) defined by a scarp. A bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.3m; H at N 1.3m; H at S 0.5m) lies on top of the scarped edge on the S side. The depression is open on the W side toward the lake extending to the waters edge. The base slopes slightly toward the lake. Immediately to the E of this depression is a roughly rectangular area (dims. L ENE-WSW 3.2m; Wth NNW-ESE 1.2m) defined by a single row of rubble blocks on all but the E side. The interior of the area is level and appears to be metalled with stone. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011

• SL015-120 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise in gently undulating rocky pasture. Slightly raised roughly circular area (diam. c.30m) enclosed by the footings of a drystone wall of limestone rubble (Wth 1.85m; int. H 0.2m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The footings of the drystone wall enclose the site NE-NW and consist of two parallel rows of limestone facing slabs with a fill of small rubble between. The inner or outer facing slabs are not continuous around the entire circuit and the footings often take the form of a low bank of rubble stone. At the base of the inner and outer sides of the footings is a spread (Wth 2m; H 0.2m) of rubble stone. The footings are absent NW-NE where a straight E-W orientated lane defines the N limit of the cashel. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.

• SL015-121 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Situated on a slight SE-facing slope in gently undulating rocky limestone pasture. Natural ground level slopes down gently immediately to the E of the site. Roughly circular area (dims. 17m N-S; 16m E-W) enclosed by a bank of rubble limestone (Wth 2.6m; H 0.2-0.4m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank and is best preserved SE-NE being very degraded elsewhere. The bank is made up of blocks and roughly rectangular slabs of rubble limestone. Two of the slabs are in their original position on the external side of the bank; one at W set on its long edge and one at NW set on its short edge. The original entrance is not recognisable.
