- SL019-177 Megalithic tomb - passage tomb
Description
Towards the N end and highest point of relatively flat-topped Doomore Mountain. The site overlooks Ballysadare Bay and commands a magnificent outlook in all directions. This is a circular cairn (diam. 21m; H c. 2m) the perimeter of which is under peat-grown heather. Towards the western edge of the flat top of the cairn there is a roughly constructed heap of stones, circular in plan (diam. 7m; H 1.5m). The age and purpose of this feature is uncertain but it may be a 19th-century OS trigonometrical station. Just E of the centre of the cairn there is a 20th-century OS concrete-built trigonometrical pillar. At the NNE a line of four large stones extends towards the centre of the cairn from a point c. 3m inside the perimeter. These stones, which are substantially buried, are of uncertain status but could represent tomb structure, possibly a passage tomb.

- SL019-201001 Enclosure
Description
In a forest, on a S-facing slope. An oval area (c. 55m N-S; c. 40m E-W) enclosed by a loosely constructed stone wall (Wth c. 2m; H 1m). The interior slopes gently down to S and is densely planted with trees and covered by overgrowth. In the W half of the interior, stone footings (Wth 1m; H 0.3m) extend to SE from the enclosing wall at W and curve for a short distance to NE, possibly the remains of a structure or an internal division. An arc of stones (C c. 4m) in the S end of the interior may also be the remains of a structure. According to local information, the field is known as the 'blood pound'. Remnants of a field boundary wall (SL019-201001-) extend to W and then to SW but are difficult to trace because of the forest plantation.

A slightly raised oval area (34m N-S; 25.7m E-W) enclosed by a mostly collapsed drystone wall which is most substantial at W (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.4m) but elsewhere is reduced to a heap of stones. From SSE-SSW the wall is shared by the adjoining cashel (SL025-01502-). The interior is level. Part of a complex of cashels (SL025-01502-; SL025-01504-; SL025-01507-; SL025-01508-; SL025-01512-), enclosures (SL025-01503-; SL025-01511-), a possible enclosure (SL025-01505-), a rath (SL025-01506-) and a hut site (SL025-01510-).

Description
In rocky pasture, on a slight rise on the S slopes of the Ox Mountains. The southernmost of a pair of conjoined cashels (see SL025-015001-). An oval area (32m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by a drystone wall (Wth 2m; int. H 1.8m; ext. H 2m) SW-NE, along the S arc by a narrower wall (Wth 1.2m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.65m) built on top of a broad partially sod-covered stony plinth (H 0.45m), which projects 1.2m from the external side of the wall. Along the E arc, the wall is also low and narrow (Wth 1m; H 0.5m) and c. 1m outside it is a curving field boundary. There are narrow gaps (Wth c. 0.5m) through the wall at NW and WSW. Slightly higher ground in the NE quadrant of the interior is defined by a low E-W scarp. Several field-clearance cairns were noted in the interior and in the S half there are two linear parallel heaps of stone (E heap: 3m N-S; 2m E-W; H 1m; W heap: 3.6m N-S; 1.1m E-W; H 0.9m). Field boundaries radiate out from the cashel to S and W. A field boundary curves SSW-NW c. 5m outside the enclosing wall.

Description
In a level area in rock strewn pasture, on the S slopes of the Ox Mountains. A slightly raised circular area (diam. 18m) defined by the remains of a collapsed stone wall (Wth 2.7m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.7m) NW-S and by a field boundary wall elsewhere. The field boundary wall continues NW-N c. 2m inside the line of the original enclosing element. The interior is level and raised on the N and E sides to compensate for the hillslope. Remains of a low sod-covered field boundary (Wth 1.2m) cross the interior on a NNE-SSW axis. There is a slightly raised semicircular area (3m N-S; 6m E-W; H 0.3m) at SSW adjacent to the inner face of the enclosing field boundary. A post and wire fence crosses the interior on a N-S axis off centre to E.

Description
In rocky pasture, on a slight SE-facing slope. A semicircular area (C c. 31m) defined W-E by a sod-covered wall/bank (Wth 2.9m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.3m) and open elsewhere.

Description
In stony pasture, on a level area at the base of a S-facing slope. An oval area (27.5m NNE-SSW; 32m ENE-WSW) defined S-NW by a sod-covered heap of stones (Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.5m), NW-NE by a pile of stones (Wth 5.6m; int. H 1.4m) accumulated against a natural rising slope and NE-S by a drystone wall (Wth 2.5m; H 1.2m). The external basal courses of the drystone wall are large irregular limestone blocks and are topped by smaller stones. The inner rim of the wall (Wth 0.8m) is higher than the rest and is incorporated into a field boundary. In the interior are two rectangular stony platforms built against the inner edge of the enclosing element at NE and W. The NE platform (5m E-W; 7m N-S; H 0.4m) is edged with large stones and the W platform (4.5m N-S; 4m E-W) is sod-covered and has a slightly raised rim (Wth 1.5m; ext. H 0.4m). A small irregular field-clearance cairn lies against the enclosing element at NW. Part of a complex of cashels (SL025-015001-; SL025-015002-; SL025-015004-; SL025-015007-; SL025-015012-), enclosures (SL025-015003-; SL025-015011-), a possible enclosure (SL025-015005-), a rath (SL025-015006-) and a hut site (SL025-015010-).

- SL025-015009 Field system
Description
Listed in both the SMR (1989) and the RMP (1995) and classified 'Field System'. Not marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map. A system of small fields indicated on the 1914 edition of the OS 6-inch map Many of the field walls are now tumbled but where property boundaries occur the walls are in better repair. The principal walls extend on a roughly N-S axis up the mountain slopes and numerous cross-walls form a patchwork of small irregular fields. That the field system is later than the many raths and enclosures in the vicinity is evident where field walls have bisected or incorporated portions of these enclosures. This field system probably dates to the post-1700 AD period. Compiled by: Archaeological Survey Unit, UCC Date of upload: 13 December 2011

Description
In rock strewn pasture. A roughly circular area (c. 45m N-S; 49.7m E-W) defined by a ruined wall and divided S of centre, on an E-W axis, by a road flanked by field walls. To N of the road the interior is defined by a collapsed sod-covered stone wall (Wth 2m; H 0.5m) W-NE and by a scarp (H 1.2m) NE-E which is roughly faced with stones and boulders.

- SL025-016 Ringfort - rath
Description
In rough pasture, at the base of a S-facing slope. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 20m) and on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as an arc of bank W-E abutting the N side of an E-W field boundary. The interior is bisected by a second field boundary on a N-S axis. Only the S half of this possible rath is now evident. Remains consist of a slightly raised, roughly D-shaped area (diam. 21m E-W; H c. 1m) covered with mature coniferous trees and strewn with boulders and debris. Traces of a N-S field boundary cross the interior just E of centre and a concrete shed partially overlies the W edge. A concrete wall has been built along the straight N side of the D-shaped area. There are no visible remains of the N half of the rath, a bungalow now occupies this area which is at a slightly lower level than S half.

- SL025-157 Bridge
Description
Listed in both the SMR (1989) and the RMP (1995) and classified 'Bridge'. A partially collapsed road bridge (on a ENE-WSW axis; Wth 7.5m), of 18th-century appearance, over the Owenbeg River to NE of Coolaney village. The remains of two tall semicircular arches (span c. 8m; H 6-7m), with a third collapsed dry arch (span 3.7m; H 1.8m) on the floodplain c. 20m to SW, under a disused approach road from Coolaney. All of the arches have rough voussoirs. The bridge has tall piers (Wth c. 2m) with low pointed cutwaters; there are also cutwaters against the side walls of the road to ENE. The bridge is now overgrown with ash trees, the roots of which are causing severe structural damage. It was replaced by another bridge to SW, closer to Coolaney. The later bridge, dated 1833, is slightly hump-backed and has a single wide segmental arch with a prominent keystone and cutstone voussoirs and string course. This bridge probably dates to the post-1700 AD period. Compiled by: Archaeological Survey Unit, UCC Date of upload: 11 January 2012
