Recorded monuments

• SL014-065014 Bastioned fort
  Description

  The following details are derived from Gallagher and Legg (2012, 14) and Bolton, Dargan and Roche (2017) to which the reader is referred. The fort, known as ‘Green Fort’, was probably built by Conyers Clifford in 1599 on the site of earlier ringfort, Rath-da-bhritog. It is shown as a regular earthwork with four corner bastions on the north side of the Garvoge River on Baxter’s map c.1600. It is also marked on the Down Survey maps of the barony of Carbury and the parish of Calrie dating from c.1655-8. In 1656 it was described as an earthwork in poor condition and Thomas Phillips represents it as an abandoned earthwork in his prospect of Sligo drawn c. 1685. The Green Fort was incorporated into a network of defensive earthworks which enveloped Sligo town during the Williamite wars (1688-91) that also included the 'Stone Fort' (built late 1650s; see SL014-065007-) on the site of old de Burgo castle (SL014-065006-), a redoubt (SL014-065028-) and series of enveloping earthen ramparts with bastions. When the town was attacked by Brigadier Patrick Sarsfield and his Jacobite forces in early October 1689 the commanding Williamite officer, Colonel Thomas Lloyd, abandoned the town and brought his troops to the Green Fort from where they were able to escape to Enniskillen under cover of darkness (see SL014-065024-). After the Jacobites took Sligo, Colonel Henry Luttrell, with the aid of Robert Burton 'his Majesty's engineer', refortified the Green Fort and added additional outworks. The fort was incorporated into the extensive earthen defences which surrounded the town. A plan of the works drawn at this time (see attached) describes the fort as ‘newly fortified with a good Chemien, Court, and Glacis, well palisaded’, having a well ‘which is continually full of water’. In June 1690, Sir Tadhg O’Regan was appointed commander of the Jacobite forces at Sligo. He brought ordnance from the town to strengthen the Green Fort and made improvements to the town’s defences. Sligo was strategically important to the Jacobites, as control of the town secured north Connacht and provided them with a platform from which they could raid into Ulster. By the summer of 1691 Williamite encroachment on Sligo seemed inevitable after the success of their campaign that had seen the fall of Athlone in June, and the Jacobite defeat at Aughrim on 12 July. These victories early in the campaign season meant that the main Williamite force could now advance on the Jacobite strongholds of Connacht and Clare. On Saturday 12th September 1691 the Green Fort was attached by Williamite forces under Colonel John Michelburne who had noted that while Sligo had been reinforced, only a single company of grenadiers was stationed at the fort. Michelburne and his forces advanced rapidly to secure the defensive ditch and broke into the fort, causing the defenders to escape by jumping over the parapets and retreating to the Stone Fort (SL014-065007-) in the town. O'Regan was besieged in the Stone Fort, and with the arrival of further Williamite troops, he negotiated a surrender marching away with his garrison and two cannons on Monday 14 September. O'Reagan handed the keys of the Stone Fort to Michelburne who was appointed Governor of Sligo. The Williamite forces took possession of the Green Fort which had ‘sixteen other cannons mounted in the wall, and thirty barrels of gunpowder in the magazines, as well as stores of all kinds.’ The fort appears to have been abandoned relatively soon after the war. It was in a ruinous condition by 1739, by which time its military function had been superseded by the barracks erected in the early 1700s in the town. Forthill House was built adjacent to the site in the mid-eighteenth century and from this period onwards, the Green Fort appears to have lain abandoned and unused. It is not marked on Taylor and Skinners 1777 map of Sligo or William Larkin’s 1810 map. It is named the ‘Green Fort’ on the OS 1st ed. 6-inch map (surveyed 1837) and on all later editions and revisions where it is shown as an isolated but well-defined rectilinear fortification with salient-angled corner bastions. The monument lies on raised ground c. 30m north of Connaughton Road (R286) adjacent to the entrance of Sligo University Hospital. The remains are those of an earthen artillery fortification measuring approximately 86m N-S by 90m E-W externally, and 45m by 49m E-W internally, standing c. 3.9m high at its maximum, enclosing an area of approximately 7.7 acres/3100m2. The fort comprises a raised rectangular platform, with salient-angled corner bastions, encircled by angled earthen slopes and ditches. There are no standing remains or internal features visible within the fort (entrances, covered way, gun emplacements, well etc.) and there is no surface indication of outer defensive works. The monument now forms part of a field system and has no regular access path. The south and eastern sides of the fort including the south-east and south-west bastions feature mature hedgerows. The interior of the fort, the west and north banks, and the north-east and north-west bastions show grass cover, with wet boggy ground conditions found within the northern ditch and along the east side of the fort. A later field boundary intersects the south-west bastion at the south-west corner of the site. (Gallagher and Legg 2012, 14; Bolton, Dargan and Roche 2017) This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 2/1983).

• SL014-065026 Fortification
  Description

  Henry Luttrell's 1689 plan of the town and defences of Sligo (see SL014-065014-) shows a redoubt – a small, usually temporary, enclosed defensive work – which had been erected to cover any approach being made to the town along the routeways now known as Barrack Street and Holborn Hill. The plan shows the salient faces of the redoubt pointing north behind which cannon would have been mounted. The date of its erection is unknown but it was undoubtedly fortified at the time of the Williamite wars and, being of earthen construction, was abandoned soon after and subsequently removed. The precise location of this redoubt is unknown but judging from its position on Luttrell’s 1689 plan it was probably situated in the area of the former barracks and the coordinates provided should only be considered as indicative of this evidence.

• SL014-284008 Memorial stone (present location)
  Description

  In Sligo County Museum is a stone with a Latin inscription recording the building of a bridge (SL020-230001-) over the river at Ballsadare Bay by Maria, wife of the soldier Roger Jones, in the year 1628 (Sligo Field Club files). The inscription reads 'Maria Jones, Rogeri Militus Uxor hunc pontem struxit. Anno 1628. Pons Fabricatricis menorat sua facta; superstat marmore qua viva posteritatis inops dumque lapis superest crit indelible nomen, dinque viatores, munera tanta beant.' There are no visible remains of the 17th-century bridge (SL020-230001-). The present bridge is a disused causeway bridge of 19th-century appearance between a railway line and the modern N4 road. It has two semicircular arches, roughly 12m apart, one partially replaced with concrete and the other blocked up leaving only a small lintelled channel.

• SL014-284010 Rock art (present location)
  Description

  This stone was discovered in the corner of an outbuilding attached to the former Cloverhill school in the townland of Knockshammer or Cloverhill. It was removed from the building and placed in Sligo County Museum (pers. comm. M.A. Timoney). The stone (0.84m x 0.27m by 0.15m thick) is is decorated on two opposing faces. The carvings were partly truncated when the stone was reworked for use as a quoin. Face 1: This has three sets of motifs, two double rings one with an intenal small ring like a cup and between them, a cup-and-ring motif. Face 2: This has the remains of a double ring, a single ring and a cup-and-ring motif. The original provenance of the stone is unknown but it may be that referred to by R.A.S. Macalister in a paer on Bronze-Age sculpture in Ireland (Breuil and Macalister 1921-4, 5, fn 1). In a footnote in the paper he records as follows: ‘The field on the side of the road opposite to that containing the Clover Hill burial-chamber contains a large number of rough boulders, not artificially arranged, but tending to surround a mound on top of which is a small tumulus. On one of these boulders M. l'Abbe Breuil detected a group of concentric circles, pocked. —R.A.S.M.’ It is possible that one or more of the boulders was used as a source of stone when the building was erected.
