Recorded monuments

• SL030-003002 Crannog
  Description

  In the waters of Lough Talt, c. 5m from the S shoreline. Views are restricted due to the mountainous terrain. A subrectangular low-cairn crannog (15m N-S; 15m E-W; H 1.25m above the lake-bed). The grass-covered raised centre has a thin soil cover with a scatter of flat stones (diam. 0.6-0.7m) on top of smaller subangular stones (diam. 0.2-0.3m) forming a firm surface. The edge of this raised area drops sharply down to the surrounding berm. The stony edge of the crannog slopes gradually into the water. The NW corner protrudes slightly and from it a submerged causeway leads out to the NW to another submerged platform which could not be inspected. A stony causeway (L 5m; Wth 0.4m) at S connects the crannog to the lakeshore. Another crannog (SL030-002----) is c. 1.2km to NNW in the N end of Lough Talt. 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).

• SL036-007 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In rough grazing, on a steep E-facing slope of the Ox Mountains. A circular area (18m N-S; 19.5m E-W) defined by a partially collapsed drystone wall (Wth 2m; H 0.4m). The cashel is terraced into the slope, with the W half 0.8m below and the E half 1.8m above the external ground level. The interior retains a slope down to E and is crossed by the remains of cultivation ridges. 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).

• SL036-008 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  In a marshy hollow, on the lower NE-facing slope of the Ox Mountains and just above Lough Talt River. This well is evident as a natural spring which forms a stream. There is no evidence of recent veneration here. In 1942-4 it was recorded that people prayed at the well 'asking St. Barbara to intercede for them in obtaining their request on visiting St. Attracta's well' after which they bless themselves with water from the well (ITA). Wood-Martin (1892, 358) noted that the 'stations' here were generally performed about the same date as those at St Attracta's well (SL036-009---) while O'Rorke ([1889], vol. 2, 152) states that it is supposed to have got its name from some companion of St Attracta. St. Attracta's well (SL036-009----) lies c. 190m to SE. 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).

• SL036-009 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  On a NE-facing slope of the Ox Mountains, above the Lough Talt River. The spring well, which is dedicated to St Attracta, is c. 1.5m below ground level with stone steps leading down to it, revetted and surrounded by a large D-shaped cairn of stones. There is a cross, depicted in white marble, above the well. Rosary beads adorn surrounding bushes and trees and Mass is celebrated here on 15th August each year. According to local tradition, a monster living in the glen was killed by St Athy or Araght, who came form the North of Ireland with a blessed staff given to her by St Patrick (Wood-Martin 1892, 357; O'Rorke [1889], vol. 2, 152). In 1942-4 it was recorded that close to the well is a place called 'Lug na paiste or Hollow of the Beast' (ITA). It was also recorded that the pilgrimage to the well commences on the last Sunday in July and continues until the end of August, with 'the annual pilgrimage day being the Sunday within the octave of the feast of St Attracta' (ITA). St Barbara's well (SL036-008----) lies c. 190m to NW.

• SL036-010 Megalithic structure
  Description

  On the SE slopes of the Ox Mountains overlooking the Lough Talt River to the NE. A massive slab (3.6m x 2.9m; T 1-1.5m) rests in a more or less horizontal position on a few courses of drystone-walling (H 0.7m) under its perimeter at E and W. The whole structure sits in a slight hollow. There was a small quarry alongside the site in the 1960s but this has been filled in and the land reclaimed. This work was probably the source of stones now piled against the structure. The age and function of this feature is not known. 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).

• SL036-011 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough grazing, on a break in an E-facing slope of the Ox Mountains. A slightly raised circular area (26m N-S; 26.5m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.75m; ext. H 1.9m) with numerous cattle gaps. The external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.3m) is evident along the NW and ENE arcs, with the N arc only visible as boggy ground outlined by rushes. The entrance (Wth 1.1m) is at NE, revetted by large stones. The grass-covered interior slopes gently down to NE and is broken by rock outcrop in places. A WNW-ESE field boundary bisects the interior. A drain extends downhill to E from the fosse at NE. 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).
