• SL020-190 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a S-facing slope. A slightly raised circular area (int. diam. 22.5m) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.5m) along the E arc and by a scarp elsewhere. Shallow remains of a fosse (Wth c. 3m) are evident along the S arc. The E portion of the interior is covered with overgrowth and crossed by a N-S field boundary wall. 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).

• SL020-191 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough pasture, on a S-facing slope near the top of a ridge. A circular area (int. diam 23m) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1m) which is replaced along the S arc by an E-W field boundary wall. The perimeter is covered with overgrowth. 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).

• SL020-192 Enclosure
  Description

  On a steep S-facing slope in rough mountainous terrain with excellent views. Visible in an aerial photograph (IASAP, 3034189-90) as a small oval enclosure (diam. c. 10m). It is not visible at ground level.

• SL020-193 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a steep S-facing hillside in very rough mountainous terrain with excellent views. The inspection of this cashel was difficult due to dense overgrowth of scrub. An oval area (33.5m NW-SE; 28.2m NE-SW) enclosed by two substantial, although much-denuded, drystone walls. Both walls display evidence of internal and external revetment in places. The inner wall (Wth c. 2.2m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 0.9m) is much better preserved than the outer (Wth c. 2m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.3m). Along the N arc there is a fosse (Wth c. 3.2-4m) between the walls; elsewhere there is a level space (Wth c. 2.5-3.4m). The interior slopes steeply down to S. A number of possible internal divisions, defined by drystone walls of uncertain age, are visible but could not be inspected in any detail due to the overgrowth. According to local information, there is a spring well within the interior but this was not located. 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).

• SL020-194 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In rough pasture, on a S-facing slope. Indicated on the 1913 OS 6-inch map by an arc of hachures N-SE, on the E side of a field boundary. The remains are consistent with this depiction with an arc of sod-covered ruined stone wall (T 1m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.5m) evident N-SE. The wall has been removed SE-S. There are no visible remains of the wall on the W side of the field boundary. This appears to be the remains of a cashel (int. diam. c. 32m). The interior is waterlogged. 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).

• SL020-195 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In rough pasture, on a S-facing slope. An oval area (int. diam. 24.5m N-S; 20.5m E-W) enclosed by a stone wall (T 1m; H 1.8m). The wall is faced with large stones and has a rubble core. 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).

• SL020-270 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a relatively level natural terrace on an otherwise steep SSW-facing hillside in rough mountainous terrain. Excellent views except from WNW-NE where they are limited by higher ground. A circular area (diam. c. 48m) enclosed by the fragmentary remains of the basal portion of a drystone wall (Wth c. 2.9-4m; H 0.1-0.4m) with possible internal and external revetments. The interior is bisected by a N-S field boundary. More of the cashel wall is visible on the W of this field boundary wall than on the E where the interior is defined largely by a scarp (max. H 0.3m). 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).
