• SL026-013 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In flat pasture, adjacent to or on a disused railway line. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m). This possible rath is not visible at ground level and was probably levelled during the construction of the railway. 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

• SL026-015 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  In a flat expanse of wet boggy ground bordering the NE side of the Owenbeg River. A shallow circular stone-lined pool (diam. 1m; D 0.4m), the base of which is stone flagged. The top of the stone lining forms a low ledge (Wth 0.4m) at a height of c. 0.3m above the water, on which the visitor can stand, and is in turn enclosed by a mortared roughly coursed stone wall (Wth 0.3-0.4m; H 1m) with vertical stone coping. The wall (relatively modern in appearance) incorporates a stile-like arrangement of stones allowing easy access to the well and encloses an area of 2m in diameter. The water appears oily and murky and is covered with algae. The well is dedicated to St Fechin. There is a church (SL026-016----) c. 350m to NE. There are four other wells associated with St Fechin in the vicinity (SL026-010----; SL026-086----; SL026-151----; SL033-062----).

• SL026-016 Church
  Description

  In undulating rocky pasture, in the immediate vicinity of the partially deserted settlement cluster of Kilnamonagh. According to McParlan (1802, 108) this is the site of an 'ancient abbey' founded by St Fechin and also a 'parish church'; Gwynn and Hadcock (1970, 183) state that 'a small cell' of the Augustinian monastery of Ballysadare (SL020-108----) was founded here shortly after AD 1140 but it does not appear to have survived into the 15th century. According to local tradition, there was an associated graveyard (SL026-016001-). Test trenching, c. 110m NE of the church site, uncovered a pit containing metal slag but no evidence of a monastic enclosure (M. A. Timoney 2001a, 303). St Fechin's well (SL026-015----) is c. 350m to SW. A rectangular enclosure (SL026-017----) lies c. 130m to 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).

• SL026-017 Enclosure
  Description

  In undulating pasture, on a slight ridge. A subrectangular area (32m N-S; 22m E-W) enclosed by the remains of a sod-covered stone wall (T 1.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.8m). There is a circular mound of rubble (diam. 2m; H 0.5m), covered with soil, in the S half of the interior. The church and graveyard (SL026-016----; SL026-016001-) of Kilnamanagh lie c. 130m 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).

• SL026-019 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a S-facing slope overlooking the Owenmore River to S. A circular area (int. diam. 18.5m) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.2m). A possible entrance is at SE. The interior slopes down to S and there is a hut site (SL026-019001-) within it. Field boundaries indicated on the 1913 OS 6-inch map to E and S of the rath have been removed. 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).

• SL026-019001 Hut site
  Description

  In the interior of a rath (SL026-019----). A circular area (5.5m E-W; 5m N-S) enclosed by a low bank (Wth 1m; H 0.3m), the W half of which is stony.

• SL026-160001 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  Not included in the SMR (1989) but listed in the RMP (1995) and classified 'House'. In a small field of undulating rough grazing. A raised rectangular stone-built structure (int. dims 3.2m N-S; 2.7m E-W) which is open at the E end. The walls (T 0.65m; max. H 0.85m) are of upright stone blocks bedded on their sides. Contiguous to, and to the W of this, is a second rectangular structure (int. dims. 3m E-W; 3.5m N-S), the walls of which are one slab thick (T 0.4m). The entrance (Wth 0.5m) is in the centre of the W wall. From the W end of this structure a pair of parallel walls, c. 3.2m apart and built of slabs laid lengthways, extend 10.3m to W, stopping short of a N-S field boundary. This house probably dates to the post AD 1700 period. Compiled by: Archaeological Survey Unit, UCC Date of upload: 11 January 2012
