## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- SL039-006001: Fulacht fia, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL039-006001-. In pasture, at the E end of an elongated natural rise, bordered to S by an expanse of damp pasture. A slight rise (c. 13m N-S) containing heat-shattered stones and dark soil, merging with and projecting slightly from the natural E-facing slope. A moated site (SL039-006----) lies c. 50m to SW. 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
- SL039-007: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL039-007----. In pasture, on the narrow top of a steep-sided drumlin. A raised circular area (int. diam. 28m N-S; 29.2m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1.7m). A possible entrance (Wth 1.5m) is at W. The interior is uneven and raised in the centre. A N-S field boundary crosses the interior rath off-centre to E; remains of another field boundary extends W from the bank at W. 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
- SL039-009: Barrow - embanked barrow, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL039-009----. In pasture, on the NE-facing shoulder of a drumlin. This barrow was partially excavated by Keane and Farrelly (1993, 56; 1994, 71) in 1992 and 1993. It was described prior to excavation as a concave circular area (int. diam. 9m) raised slightly above the external ground level and enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.4m; ext. H 0.6m); a gap (Wth 4m) was noted in the bank at E; faint traces of an external fosse were visible along the N arc; the interior sloped gently to E and the bank height diminished towards E (Keane and Farrelly 1993, 56). Excavation revealed that the bank and fosse continue all round and that the possible entrance at E was a worn down section of bank (Keane and Farrelly 1994, 71). An oblong pit (1.5m x 0.8m), containing a dump of stones in a charcoal-rich sandy clay was uncovered in the NE quadrant. A large modern pit (3.4m N-S; 3.8m E-W) was also excavated in the interior which truncated all the internal layers in the other cuttings (ibid.). No evidence for house structures was found which suggests that this was not a habitation site and this is supported by the continuous bank and fosse (ibid.). Finds included quantities of worked chert and a flint thumb scraper (ibid.). A radiocarbon date obtained from charcoal from the base of the bank places the construction of this barrow in the Iron Age (Farrelly and Keane 2002, 100). There is a mound barrow (SL039-010----) in the adjoining field c. 190m to S and a ring-barrow (SL039-011----) c. 230m to SE. A cairn (SL040-008----) on Kesh Corann Hill is visible in the distance to E. Listed by Farrelly and Keane (2002, 98). 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).

- SL039-010: Barrow - mound barrow, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL039-010----. In rough pasture, on the crest of a drumlin, with commanding views. A circular flat-topped grass-covered mound (diam. 15.5m N-S; H 2.25m) with some stones visible on its surface; the upper part of the mound has indications of quarrying (pers. comm. J. Farrelly and M. Keane). An embanked barrow (SL039-009----) lies c. 190m to N and a ring-barrow (SL039-011----) c. 170m to E. 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).

In rough pasture, on the W-facing slope of a drumlin. Described as a raised oval area (18m N-S; 16.2m E-W) enclosed by a broad shallow fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.25m) with an external earthen bank (Wth 2.1m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.5m); some stones are evident in the bank composition (pers. comm. M. Keane and J. Farrelly). The bank is incorporated into a field boundary along the W arc. A barrow (SL039-009----) lies c. 230m to NW and a mound barrow (SL039-010----) c. 170m to W. A cairn (SL040-008----) on Kesh Corann Hill is visible in the distance to E.

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.
