Recorded monuments

• SL026-094 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In waterlogged pasture, on a gentle N-facing slope. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked roughly circular area (diam. c. 20m) in the SE corner of a small field and possibly truncated slightly by field boundaries to E and S. 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). Date of upload: 18 January 2008

• SL026-095 Moated site
  Description

  In level wet pasture. Indicated as a circular enclosure on the 1838 and 1913 OS 6-inch maps. A square platform (22.6m N-S; 21.5m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1m at N; H 0.75m at S), with a slight internal lip. The scarp is least substantial on the E side where there are two low slumped gaps (Wth 3m), in the middle and at the S end. An external fosse (Wth c. 2m) is evident on the S side as a shallow waterlogged depression. The interior is generally level. There is a small depression (4m E-W; 3m N-S) in the NW corner and a possible hut site (SL026-095001-) in the NE quadrant. 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).

• SL026-095001 Hut site
  Description

  In the NE quadrant of a moated site (SL026-095----). A low flat-topped subcircular rise (c. 9m N-S; 7.5m E-S) defined N-E by the scarp of the moated site which is topped with a low stony rim (Wth c. 1m; int. H 0.4m). At W and S the rise is poorly defined by a very low slumped scarp (H c. 0.3m). 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).

• SL026-096 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a gentle N-facing slope with good views. A circular area (30.5m N-S; 28.5m E-W) defined NW-NE by a scarp (H 1.6m; Wth 3m), raised to compensate for the natural slope, and ENE-ESE by an earthen bank (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1m); elsewhere the area is defined by a levelled bank visible as a low undulation. There is a break (Wth c. 4m) in the bank at ENE. The interior is generally level but with a slight slope down to N. An E-W field boundary clips the SE edge of the rath. A field boundary, indicated on the 1913 OS 6-inch map to W of the rath, has been removed. Outside the levelled bank W-NW is a shallow dip (4-6m E-W), defined on its outer edge by a slight irregular E-facing scarp (H c. 0.4m), which possibly indicates a fosse.
