• SL026-027001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Prominently sited on top of a hill in undulating pasture with excellent views in all directions. A substantially raised circular area (31.2m N-S; 33.5m E-W) defined by two earthen banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 5-6m; int. 0.6m; ext. H 2m), evident E-N, is high externally with a slight internal lip. The interior is defined by a scarp elsewhere. The shallow intervening fosse (Wth 3m) is evident all round, marked by long grass. The outer bank can only be traced as a slight rise SW-NW. A gently ramped causeway (Wth 4.5m) across the fosse at ENE, corresponding with a slumped section of the bank, is the most likely the location of the entrance. The interior is slightly higher at the centre with a slight slope down to NE and E. Within it are three depressions or pits (SL026-027002-; SL026-027003-; SL026-027004-), all obscured by long grass, probably the three 'caves' recorded by O'Rorke ([1889], vol. 2, 458) in 'Rathrippon, near Collooney'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).

Possibly one of the three 'caves' in the interior of the rath (see SL026-027003-; SL026-027004-) which were mentioned by O'Rorke ([1889], vol. 2, 458).

  Description

  In a rath (SL026-027001-). A shallow unlined linear depression (Wth 1.5-2m; D 0.5m) extends for 10m from the bank at W into the interior of the rath. The sides of the depression are slumped and poorly defined. Possibly one of the three 'caves' in the interior of the rath (see SL026-027002-; SL026-027004-) which were mentioned by O'Rorke ([1889], vol. 2, 458).

  In a rath (SL026-027001-), close to the inner face of the bank at SSE. A deep unlined oblong pit (5.5m NE-SW; 22.7m NW-SE; D 0.9m) with almost vertical sides, slumped at NE, and a flat base. A single large stone lies on the surface adjacent to the SE edge of the pit. Possibly one of three 'caves' in the interior of the rath (see SL026-027002-; SL026-027003-) which were mentioned by O'Rorke ([1889], vol. 2, 458).
