Recorded monuments

• SL025-064 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Close to a break of slope on the NW side of a ridge. A raised circular area (28.7m N-S) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.7m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 2.8m) ringed with hawthorn bushes. The bank is low or levelled internally, the external slope being eroded at NE. Outside the bank SSE-S is a slight depression (Wth 3m), possibly the remains of a silted-up fosse. A terrace (Wth 3m) skirts the bank SW-N, from the edge of which the natural slope of the ridge falls away steeply. A field boundary crosses the interior on NNE-SSW axis, close to the E edge. The interior is mostly grass-covered, apart from the area to E of the field boundary which is densely covered with overgrowth. The NE quadrant is slightly lower than the remainder of the interior and divided from it by a gentle scarp. The central part of the interior is slightly raised. There is a possible souterrain (SL025-064001-) in the SW 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).

• SL025-064001 Souterrain
  Description

  In the SW quadrant of a rath (SL025-064----). A shallow curved depression (Wth 1.6m; D 0.45m), probably a collapsed souterrain passage, extends eastwards from the bank of the rath at W for c. 4m and then turns southwards for c. 7m. A circular hollow (diam. c. 5.5m; D 0.65m) noted c. 4m S of the souterrain, abutting the inner face of the bank at SSW, may be associated with the souterrain or may merely be the result of recent digging. 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).
