• SL012-011 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  Long, narrow, triangular promontory (dims. 55m N-S; 16m E-W) extending N into Sligo Bay. Its W, N and E sides are defined by low cliffs upon a rocky shelf while it is cut off from the surrounding land by a largely levelled, low bank of earth and stone (Wth. 1m; H 0.6m) at S. A short distance S of this is a second bank which has been levelled but whose outline is still identifiable (Wth. c.1.5m). The promontory is marked 'Donaghintraine' on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map. O'Rorke (1890, 403) recorded that this is an anglisization of 'Dun Contreathain' or 'Dun Cintreathain' and that there was a great battle at a fortress here in 1249 between Felim O'Conor and the Berminghams at which O'Conor emerged victorious.

• SL012-038 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated at the N edge of the top of an E-W ridge. Raised circular area (diam. 20.8m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth. 4.2m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.4m) which, from ESE-S-SSW, has been modified and incorporated into the field boundary which marks the border between Donaghintraine and Carrowcor townlands. At N is a narrow, shallow fosse (Wth 1.2m; D 0.3m) with a low counterscarp bank (Wth c. 1.8m; ext. H 0.2m), both of which appear to be relatively modern features. Original entrance not recognisable.

• SL012-040 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on the N side of a low E-W ridge. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Slightly raised D-shaped area (23m E-W; 17m N-S) enclosed on the curving side at W-E by an earthen bank (Wth. 4.4m; H 0.6m), and on the straight side at S by a modern field fence on a roughly E–W axis. No trace of the enclosure survives to S of this field fence. At W–NW the bank is levelled to a slight scarp. At NE, c. 2.5m from the outer foot of the bank, are remnants of an embankment (H 0.9m) which is faced with stones on its N side. The interior is bisected roughly centrally by a NNW-SSE field boundary. This appears to be the remains of a circular rath, the S half of which has been levelled. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL012-041 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a low rise in rough pasture. Raised circular flat-topped area (diam. 16.5m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.6m at S; 1.6m at NE) which is highest at N-E where the builders utilised a naturally-occurring slope. Located off-centre to E within the interior is a smaller circular enclosure (SL012-041001-). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL012-041001 Enclosure
  Description

  Within a rath (SL012-041----). Located off-centre to E within the interior of the rath is a circular area (diam. 8.1m E-W) enclosed by a low bank (Wth 1.5m; H 0.3m) with a break (Wth 1.6m) in bank at S. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 3 May 2013

• SL012-042 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough pasture, situated on a ridge, overlooking a stream c. 150m to W. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Raised D-shaped area (37.5m NW-SE; 24.4m NW-SE to fence at NE) enclosed on the curving side at SE-NNW by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.9m, at S), and on the straight side to NE by a field fence on a NW-SE axis. To NE of this field fence, the enclosure has been levelled. Original entrance not recognisable. The internal area is occupied by a central gently domed, raised area (diam. 18m N-S; max. H 1.1m). There is a level area (Wth 5.5m - 9m) between this feature and inner foot of the bank.

• SL012-125 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  Located in level pasture, 15m SSE of the rocky shoreline of a cove. The mouth of a river, which enters the sea in the middle of the cove, lies 100m to W. Knocknarae is visible on the horizon to E. The Ox Mountains dominate the skyline to SE. Slightly raised, circular area (diam. 16m N–S, c. 17m E–W) defined by a broad, low bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.65m, at W) with a gently rounded profile. A few stones protrude randomly from the sod covering of the bank, particularly at W and NW. A roughly circular, poorly defined rise (diam. c. 2m) is barely discernible in the centre of the interior. A later field wall (Wth 0.5m; H 0.9m) on a N–S axis cuts the E edge of the barrow.
