Recorded monuments

• SL007-028 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  This monument is represented on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map (1837). Only the N half of the enclosure remained at this time, the remainder undoubtedly having been washed away by the sea. It is not shown on the OS 1:2500 plan (surveyed 1909-12). On inspection in 1991 there was no visible surface trace and a house and garden had been built on the site.

• SL007-049 Midden
  Description

  On the N shore of the island-like peninsula of Raghly this midden was discovered in 2014. The remains consist of a deposit of shell material visible in the exposed cliff face below the turf line. Measuring c. 1m by 0.25m thick, it includes periwinkles and limpets with occasional mussel and razor-fish shells (pers. comm. Ciarán Davis, 14 October 2014). The compact and exposed limited extent of the midden suggests that the material may be contained within a pit-like feature. The attached images are uploaded courtesy of Ciarán Davis.

• SL007-051 Mound
  Description

  In pasture, located at Raghly Point on the SE tip of Raghly peninsula, utilising a low, natural elevation rising above the rocky shore. There are panoramic views over Sligo Bay, with Ben Bulben and the Dartry Mountains to E, Knocknarae to SSE, the Ox Mountains on the S–SW horizon, and distant views of the Donegal Mountains to N. This mound (overall diam. c. 15m E–W) is evident as a low, D-shaped grass-covered platform. It appears to have been circular in plan originally but the S–SSW side, where it borders the shore, has been eroded by the sea to create a straight edge, which drops vertically c. 3.5-4m to the cobble beach below. The flat top of the mound (7m NW–SE; 7m NE–SW) is defined on its perimeter at SW–SE by a low scarp which is highest and most broadly slumped on the W (H 0.75-0.8m; Wth slope 3m) and E (H 0.9m; Wth slope 4.5-5m) where it merges with the slope of the natural rise which the mound overlies. The scarp is lower (H 0.5-0.6m) at NNW-NNE. Stones, which barely protrude from the sod, are evident in parts along the top edge of the scarp at W-NW and at NE, and a few stones break the surface on the top of the platform. In the exposed section face on the S side of the mound, a thin covering of humic soil and sod overlies a layer of relatively stone-free, orange-brown boulder clay (D c. 0.4m). This appears to represent the body of the mound. The boulder clay layer overlies a natural concentration of gravel, rounded stones and boulders, probably a glacial or alluvial deposit, which drops c. 3m to the base of the section face. Though the mound is low profile and not sharply defined when viewed in close proximity, it is clearly visible, silhouetted against the backdrop of the mountains that border Sligo Bay, as one approaches Raghly point from the landward side to N.
