• SL013-014 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  On level pasture at the base of an E-W ridge. It is not marked on the 1837 edition. Marshy ground, marked by an extensive spread of rushes, now marks the site of a pool of water which is marked on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Ó Nualláin (1989, 95) recorded a rectangular area (dims. c.3m x c.2m) covered by stones up to 0.6m in maximum dimension. He believed that this was unlikely to represent the remains of a megalithic tomb. Only a few isolated stones, forming no discernible pattern, are now identifiable. Compiled by: Patrick F.

H 0.45m) with a fosse (Wth 5.2m) and an external bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.65; int. H 1.4m). A break (Wth 4m) in the internal bank at ESE, with a causeway across the fosse and a corresponding gap (Wth 8m) in the external bank, marks the position of the original entrance. Two linear quarries are located on the SE side of the site; one at the inner foot of the internal bank and one in the base of the fosse. The site is divided into two equal portions by an E-W drystone field wall. The remains of a souterrain (SL013-015002-) extends from the inner face of the internal bank at W.

• SL013-111 Field system
  Description

  Situated on slight N-facing slope in gently undulating pasture to the N of Sheeanmore Hill. Field system is shown on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a series of curving field boundaries. Two elements of the field system are most prominent. The first is a relic N-S orientated gently meandering boundary (L c. 250m) consisting of an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.2m; H 0.3m-0.5m) with a slight fosse/drain (Wth 0.5m; D 0.3m) on the E side. At the S end of this boundary, a series of E-W orientated boundaries are indicated on the OS 6-inch map but these have been levelled and are not visible at ground level. The second prominent element is a curving E-W orientated boundary (L 60m) linking to the W side of the main N-S boundary consisting of a relic low earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; H 0.3m) that lies on the top of a slight N facing natural scarp. The field system extends south into the archaeological complex on Sheeanmore hill (SL013:012002-; SL013-012003- and SL013-012004-).
