• SL025-109 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on top of a low E-facing slope. A raised circular area (36.5m N-S; 36.7m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank and an external fosse. The bank (Wth 5.6m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 3m) is incorporated into a field boundary system S-NNW. There is a gap (Wth 3.8m) at E adjacent to which the bank is low and degraded for c. 6m. The fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.3m) is evident SW-NW, elsewhere the line of the fosse is marked by a band of rushes and soft ground (Wth 4m) apart from at E where there are no visible remains of it. The interior slopes slightly down from the centre to E. Part of the external slope of the bank along the S arc and the area immediately outside the bank have been disturbed by shallow quarrying. 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).

• SL025-110 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In undulating pasture, at the break of slope at the NNE end of a low ridge. A slightly raised circular area (diam. 24m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.15m) SE-NW and mainly by a scarp (H 1.8m) elsewhere. Gaps occur in the bank at SE (Wth 1m) and WNW (Wth 1.2m) with an eroded section of bank (Wth 2m) at NE. The interior is level.

• SL025-112001 Church
  Description

  In wet pasture, on top of a low rise, c. 100m SE of Killoran North Lough; in the E half of Killoran graveyard (SL025-112002-). The ivy-covered ruin of a rectangular church of which only the E and S walls stand. Built of roughly coursed stone, the walls are heavily encased with ivy. The E wall (L c. 8m) is broken off just short of the NE corner. In its centre is a window embrasure with a single light. This is flanked by two wall-presses on the internal wall-face. The S wall (L c. 21.5m) is broken off short of the SW corner. Roughly centrally placed in it is a doorway, missing its surround, but an internal edge stone on the W side survives. This block of sandstone is decorated with a plain roll-moulding (M. A. Timoney 2002d, 178). There is a window embrasure near the W end of this wall, which contains a piece of moulded stone, and another similar embrasure near its E end. The ruin is that of the medieval parish church of Killoran. A branch of an ancient road (SL025-159----) extends c. 230m to the SE from it and the graveyard. 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).

  A rectangular graveyard (c. 75m NE-SW; c. 40.5m NW-SE) enclosed by a stone wall. The ruins of the medieval parish church of Killoran (SL025-112001-) are in the E half. Grave-markers include recent headstones, horizontal slabs and some small stones.

• SL025-113 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In undulating pasture, at a break of the S-facing slope of a low rise. A raised roughly circular area (32.6m E-W; 34.3m N-S) defined by a low scarp (H 0.9m) NNW-E and elsewhere by a scarp (H 1.5m) enhanced by the natural slope of the rise. A gap (Wth 2.2m) at NE gives machinery access to the interior. The interior slopes gently down to S and SW even though the S portion has been raised to compensate for the hillslope. The external slope of the scarp is quarried into at N and S and overgrown with bushes SE-SW. Immediately outside the scarp at SW, a slight depression (Wth c. 2.7m), bordered on its external side by a low rise (Wth c. 3.7m) which merges into the natural slope, can be traced through overgrowth for c. 8m. A road lies immediately to SW.

• SL025-114 Enclosure
  Description

  In undulating pasture, at the top of a SE-facing slope. A raised D-shaped area (42.3m NE-SW; 34m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (H 2.6m) NE-W and on the straight NW side by a road. The scarp is revetted S-W by a drystone wall. The interior is level and bisected NW-SE by the townland boundary. On the NE side of the townland boundary, the interior is used as a dump for old cars and a concrete garage has been built over the perimeter at N. On the SW side of the boundary a barn has been built in the interior and mature coniferous trees grow around the perimeter. There are no visible remains of the enclosure on the NW side of the road.
