Recorded monuments
- SL026-099 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on a ridge. A raised circular area (int. diam. 26m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 1.7m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.6m) and an external fosse. A gap (Wth 2.5m) occurs in the bank at S. The external fosse (Wth c. 2m) is evident all round but obscured by overgrowth. The interior is bisected by a N-S field boundary and is raised on the downslope to compensate for the hillslope. This rath forms the NW corner of a trapezoidal-shaped area (c. 80m E-W; c. 35m N-S) defined by two earthen banks and an external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.5m). The inner (Wth 0.4m; H 0.35m) and outer (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.5m) banks are c. 2m apart and the intervening area is crossed in places by short stretches of bank. This area is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as planted with trees and is likely to be an estate feature (SL026-099001-). 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).

Description
In pasture, at the top of a S-facing slope. A circular area (int. diam. 30m) enclosed by two earthen banks with an intervening fosse (Wth 6m) and an outer fosse. The inner bank is most substantial along the S arc (Wth 4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 2.5m) where it drops 2.5m to the base of the intervening fosse (Wth 6m). The outer bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 2m; ext. H 0.6m) is evident all round apart from a levelled section along the NW arc. The outer fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.5m) is evident along the SW arc. The inner bank is low at SW with a causeway (Wth 3.4m) across the intervening fosse and narrow gap (Wth 1m) in the outer bank. The interior and the outer bank are planted with trees.
