Recorded monuments

• SL034-131001 Church
  Description

  In pasture, on a W-facing slope; incorporated into the S wall of the garden of Killadoon House. Remains of a rectangular church (int. 17.3m E-W; 5.35m N-S), covered with scrub overgrowth. The walls (T 0.75m) are of random-rubble limestone and sandstone, bonded with lime mortar. The corners have interlocking limestone quoins and the NW corner has a slight base-batter and a foundation plinth (H 0.3m; Wth 0.2m). The N wall stands to a height of 3.6m but the NE and SW corners have collapsed. The splayed ingoing of a window is evident in the E wall. The S wall forms part of the S boundary of the walled garden. It has the chamfered base of a narrow light (Wth 0.14m) at its E end, and a blocked-up doorway (int. Wth 1.5m) at the W end of which a cut-limestone chamfered jamb and a pointed arch are visible through the overgrowth. The jamb is very weathered and appears to be punch dressed. The W wall has a large breach (Wth 3.1m) at ground level, midway along its length. The interior and parts of the exterior are inaccessible due to collapsed rubble and dense overgrowth. This church belonged to the Premonstratensian Canons of Trinity Island, Lough Key, Co. Roscommon and the abbot of that monastery died here in 1504 (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 207). It also probably served as the parish church of Killadoon. A graveyard (SL034-131002-) lies immediately to S. There is a bullaun stone (SL034-131003--) in a farmyard to the N. 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).

• SL034-131002 Graveyard
  Description

  In pasture, on a W-facing slope, immediately to the S of Killadoon church (SL034-131001-). In 1836 'an old burial place' was recorded in the townland of Killadoon and associated with the church (OSL, 246). No burials or grave-markers are evident. There is, however, a semicircular area (22m E-W; 17m N-S), enclosed E-S by a low earthen bank (Wth 2.9m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.5m) and SW-W by a scarp (H c. 2m), immediately S of the church which could be the remains of the graveyard. The interior of this area slopes down to the W. An elongated mound (long axis NE-SW) is evident in the NE quadrant and a low linear earthen bank (L 25m) extends out to the SW from the SW edge. No graveyard is indicated here on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, while the area immediately to the N of the church is indicated as a formal walled garden. 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).

• SL034-131003 Bullaun stone
  Description

  In a farmyard, adjacent to the gate into the walled garden surrounding Killadoon church (SL034-131001-). A smooth ovoid stone (L 0.48m; Wth 0.34m at broad end; 0.12m at narrow end; T 0.3m) with a circular depression (diam. 0.23m; D 0.12m) in its upper surface.

• SL034-255 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough, rush-grown pasture, located on top of a ridge named Mullaghahanny on the 1914 OS 6-inch map, close to the SE shoulder of the ridge where ground falls steeply into a small valley. Good views over the slopes of adjacent ridges to S, SW, and NW, with Lough Arrow visible in the middle distance to SW. Broadly oval area (29m N–S; 26m E–W) defined by a levelled bank with a largely infilled external fosse. The flat, featureless interior appears very slightly raised above surrounding field level. The enclosing bank (Wth 3.5-4m; 2m on top; int. H 0.1-0.2m; ext. H 0.5m) is evident as a broad low rise marked by a growth of greener grass. The fosse is visible as a shallow, damp depression (Wth c. 3m; base c. 2m), distinguished by denser rush growth. At SE–WSW the fosse is incorporated into the line of a later field ditch (Wth 1.6m), with external field bank, which respects the curve of the enclosure.
