In pasture, on a slight rise. Indicated only on the 1913 OS 6-inch map as an arc of bank (C c. 20m) S-NW, possibly the remains of a circular enclosure. It is not visible at ground level. A road has been built in the vicinity of the enclosure. A rath (SL026-077----) lies c. 80m to E.

- SL026-102: House - 18th/19th century, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL026-102----. This is the site of a High Victorian Tudor-Gothic house of polychrome brick, with gables, dormer-gables and a turret and spire, built from 1856 onwards by Capt. T. J. Meredith to the design of an architect named Montgomery (Bence-Jones 1978, 88). The house was replaced by a modern monastery and church surrounded by an asphalt car park. The original doorway of the house has been dismantled and reconstructed as the entrance to a garden patio. Above the slightly pointed arch is a coat of arms. Built into the wall next to the patio entrance is a coat of arms with the latin motto DEUS PROVIDEBIT. The right angled landscaping feature indicated with hachures on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map immediately to the east of the the 19th-century house, and almost certainly associated with it, does not survive. Compiled by: Archaeological Survey Unit, UCC Date of upload: 14 December 2011
- SL026-102001: Designed landscape feature, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL026-102001-. Listed in the SMR (1989) and classified as 'Earthwork, possible site' in the RMP (1995). This refers to a right angled garden landscape feature indicated by hachures on the 1913 edition of the OS 6 inch map immediately to the east of the the 19th century house. It clearly formed part of the landscaping works associated with the house (SL026-102----) which dates from 1856 onwards (Bence-Jones 1978, 88). Not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 14 December 2011
- SL026-171: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL026-171----. In a walled orchard, on a gentle SE-facing slope. This possible rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m), planted with trees. It is now levelled though a slight rise (diam. c. 20m) is noticeable in the area. The orchard is now used as a paddock for sheep. 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).

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
