Recorded monuments

• SL016-038 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a low ridge in pasture. Depicted on the 1837 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure and on the 1913 edition as a D-shaped enclosure. D-shaped area (30m E–W; c. 16m N–S) enclosed on the curving side W–E by an eroded and gapped earthen bank (Wth 1.5-4m; int. H 0.8-1m; ext. H 0.8m), and on the straight side to by a modern field boundary, on an E–W axis. At the inner foot of the bank at W–N is a fosse (Wth 2-4m; D 0.3-0.5m) which may be a later feature. To S of the field boundary, the south half of the rath has been levelled and there are no remains now visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL016-041 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated in lowlying, marshy ground. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Identified from an aerial photograph. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 29m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.6m). At the foot of the scarp at SW is a shallow fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.3m). Original entrance not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL016-042 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on the E edge of a low ridge in undulating pasture. Shown on the 1913 OS 6-inch map as a circular hachured area, this enclosure has been levelled and is evident only as a slightly raised circular area (diam. 25m N-S). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL016-043 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  Situated atop a NE-SW ridge in undulating pasture. Circular, flat-topped mound (diam. at base 13.5m, of top 8.5m; H 1.5m) of earth and stone. It is said that at the time of St. Patrick there was a ferocious boar in Ulster. He was hunted with such vigour that he left Ulster and sought refuge in 'the valley of the Black Pig, a little vale in the county Sligo' where he was finally caught and killed. It is said that he is buried beneath the mound (Wood-Martin 1887-8, 292). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL016-085 Mound
  Description

  On the SE margins of Enniscrone village, located in an expanse of damp, rush-grown pasture in the flat valley bottom of the Bellawaddy River. The field is bordered c. 100m to N of the mound by the river which opens into the sea c. 300m to NW. The E, S and W sides of the field are bordered by land drains. A roughly circular rise (c. 22m E–W; c. 23m N–S; H 1.7m at N, 1.5m at S) with a flattened top (c. 8m N–S, c. 8m E–W) and broadly sloping sides (Wth slope c. 9m). The sides have a somewhat more elongated slope to NW and SE, which gives the mound the appearance of being more oval than circular. It is likely that prior to the digging of the modern system of drainage ditches, this area constituted very wet land. It is possible that the mound represents the remains of some form of wetland habitation site or crannog. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 31 December 2013
