• SL010-020001 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated in level, lowlying pasture. This enclosure comprises a raised subrectangular area (24.5m N-S; 22.2m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth. 3.3m at N, 4.7m at S; int. H 0.3-0.6m; ext. H 0.6-0.7m) with a broad external slope. A shallow external fosse (Wth 3-4m) is evident at the W and N. A rectangular platform, built against the inner face of the bank in the NE quadrant of the interior, may be the remains of a house (SL010-020003-). The fosse separates this enclosure from another enclosure (SL010-020002-), now levelled, which lies immediately to N. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 6 March 2013

• SL010-020002 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated in level, lowlying pasture. This enclosure has been levelled and survives as a raised subcircular area (diam. c. 15m; H 0.2-0.5m). It lies immediately to N of another enclosure (SL010-020001-) and is separated from it by the fosse (Wth 3-3.5m) of the latter enclosure. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 4 March 2013

• SL010-021001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on the SW edge of a low ridge adjacent to the SW end of Quigabar hamlet. Raised subcircular area (26.8m NW-SE: 22.8m NE-SW) enclosed by a low bank (Wth. 4.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.6m at SW) with an external fosse (Wth. 5.2m). At the outer lip of the fosse at SW-NW is a second bank (Wth. c. 5m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.4m - 1.2m). The interior slopes from centre to E and SE. A poorly defined gap (Wth. 2-3m) at SSE may be the original entrance. Thre is a local tradition of a souterrain (SL010-021002-) within internal area. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL010-021002 Souterrain
  Description

• SL010-031001 Enclosure
  Description

  In rough pasture of long grass and yellow flag, in lowlying coastal terrain. Not listed in the SMR (1989) but listed as ‘moated site -possible’ in the RMP (1995) on the basis of a subrectangular feature noted in an aerial photograph (GSI G 103-4; Roll 157, print 14). The area was inspected in 2014. The feature noted in the aerial photograph corresponds to a roughly oval or subrectangular area (c. 25m NW–SE; c. 10-14m NE–SW) of flat ground, marked by shorter grass than elsewhere in the field, with a limekiln (SL010-031002-) at the NE end of the area. The S side of the flat area is defined by a slight scarp (H 0.3m) which curves in a shallow arc from the lime kiln for c. 25m to SW where it peters out in dense vegetation. The N side of the flat area is marked by a linear band (Wth c. 1m) of yellow flag. Another linear band of yellow flag extends from the limekiln for c. 10m to SW roughly through the centre of the flat area. The evidence does not warrant classifying this as a moated site. It is possible that the remains represent a levelled enclosure, or they may simply be the result of past cultivation/drainage activity associated with the limekiln. There is a moated site (SL010-019----) 75m to W. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 15 September 2014

• SL010-031002 Kiln - lime
  Description

  Located in lowlying, poorly drained pasture. Circular grass-covered mound (diam. 6m; H 0.8m) with a central hollow (diam. 1.6m; D 0.4m) on top. The mound appears to be of earthen construction. Irises grow in the central depression. It is not shown on the 1837 or 1913 OS 6-inch maps but is shown on the 25-inch plan as a small circle annotated L.K. There is a moated site (SL010-019----) 100m to W. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 8 November 2013

• SL010-036 Enclosure
  Description

  In the NW corner of a pasture field, located in relatively flat, lowlying coastal pasture. Very slightly raised, subectangular or roughly trapezoidal area (24.5m NNE-SSW; 25.5m WSE–ESE on NNE side, 21m on SSW side) with slightly rounded corners, particular the SE corner, defined on all four sides by a bank (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.35-0.4m). The bank appears as a low, relatively flat-topped grass-covered rise, with a distinct external scarp but with a poorly defined inner edge which is almost flush with interior ground level. Immediately outside the bank at S, there is a roughly oval, grass-covered rise or mound (6m E–W; 2.5-3m N–S; H 0.45m), with a similar but smaller mound (4m E–W; 2.5m N–S; H 0.4m) 2m to W. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 September 2014

• SL010-037 Enclosure
  Description

  Located in lowlying coastal pasture. A slightly raised, irregular- or roughly kidney-shaped area (19.5m NE–SW; 13m NW–SE max. at NE, 9m at SW) defined on the perimeter by a low earthen bank (Wth 1-1.2m; int. H 0.1-02m; ext. H 0.4m at NE, 0.45-0.5m at SW), and divided into three compartments, the smallest of which projects to the W. The larger, SW part consists of an oblong area (c. 19m NE–SW; c. 9m NW–SE) divided by a low scarp into two subcircular compartments of roughly equal size: subcircular, NE compartment (8m NW–SE; 9m NE–SW); SW compartment (9m NW–SE; 10.5m NE–SW). Abutting the NW side of the NE compartment, and separated from it by a low bank, is the third and smallest compartment (7.3 NE–SW; 3.8-4m NW–SE), oval in plan, which projects to W. There are two narrow breaks in the bank of this third compartment: one (Wth 0.6) at W connecting with the exterior and one (Wth 0.5m) at E connecting with the NE compartment. The function and date of this enclosure is unclear. There is a rectangular enclosure (SL010-036----) 50m to N in the same field. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 23 September 2014
