- SL009-026 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a slight NW-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Circular raised area (diam. 15m) enclosed by a bank of earth (Wth 6.4m; int. H 0.4m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank encloses the site W-S. From S-SW the bank has been removed by a small quarry. From SW-W the edge of the site is defined by an irregular scarp. The original entrance is not recognisable. An ENE-WSW orientated field boundary bank with a drain crosses the interior to N of centre cutting through the bank at W and at NE. The interior to the S of this boundary is heavily disturbed by quarrying. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011

- SL009-070 Enclosure
Description
At the N end of large, flat field of pasture, near the W foot of Cope’s Mountain. This monument was identified in 2021 in a geophysical survey carried out as part of archaeological investigations on the N16 Lugatober (Drumkilsellagh to Lugnagall) Road Project, Co. Sligo (Dowling 2021). It lies outside the road corridor and remains in situ. It is not visible at ground level, but geophysical imagery reveals a circular enclosure (diam. c. 18m) defined by a ditch. Strong magnetic responses at the E and SE sectors of the ditch suggest the presence of burnt or fired material within its fill. Gaps are evident around the circuit of the ditch and may indicate one or more entrance features. A possible ring-ditch (SL009-071----) is 35m to SW.
