- SL027-173: Barrow - ring-barrow, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL027-173----. On a flat marshy floodplain, on the N bank of the Arrow or Unshin River.

The broadly slumped mound (14m N-S; c. 12m E-W; H 0.5m at S, 0.8m at N) is poorly preserved with a rather flattened top. Its E edge is damaged or partially levelled. Around the base of the mound is the innermost fosse (Wth 4.5m) which is silted up and marked by a dense growth of rushes. Outside this fosse is the intervening bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.5m) which is in turn surrounded by another fosse (Wth 4.8m) evident as a broad wet depression marked by rushes. The external bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.5m) is evident as a broad low flattened grass-covered rise, except SW-W where it has been removed. 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.
