• SL033-090 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In undulating pasture, on a ridge just N of Ballymote. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 25m) and on the 1941 OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped raised area. The remains consist of a raised oval area (diam. 20m x 15m) defined by a scarp (H 1.2m). The E and part of the S side have been removed by quarrying. 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). Date of upload: 18 January 2008

• SL033-091 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on the W-facing slope of a drumlin. A raised oval area (int. diam. 22.9m E-W; 17m N-S) defined by a scarp along the E (H 0.75m), S (H 1.3m) and W (H 1.2m) arcs; the N and NW edges of the rath have been removed by quarrying. The W portion of the level interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope and contains spoil from the quarrying.

• SL033-115 Architectural fragment
  Description

  In the R.C. Church of the Immaculate Conception, Ballymote. A rectangular limestone block (L 0.49m; Wth 0.29m; H 0.15m) with a central circular slightly rounded hollow or bowl (diam. 0.22m; D 0.1m). This stoup has been at its present location within living memory and may have come from the nearby abbey (SL033-163001-) or from the former R. C. Church (now Loftus Hall) immediately E of the abbey. The former R. C. church was closed in 1864 and subsequently converted into the present parish hall. (pers. comm. M. A. Timoney, Feb 2004). There is also a font (SL033-115001-) in the church which was brought here in 1948 from Battlefield House (OS sheet 39) but whose original location is not known.

• SL033-115001 Font (present location)
  Description

  This was listed in the SMR (1989) as 'Font (original location)' under the number SL039-132004-. This monument is located in the R. C. Church in Ballymote and was believed locally to have come from Battlefield church and graveyard (SL039-132001 and SL039-132002-). However, in Feb. 2004 Martin Timoney informed the Archaeological Survey unit, UCC, that the font was brought to the church in Ballymote in 1948 by James. P. McGarry from Battlefield House and not from Battlefield church. Its original location is not known and it has been assigned a record number (SL033-115001-) at its present location in Ballymote. The font is a sub-cubical sandstone block (L 0.35m; Wth 0.3m; H 0.28m) into which a round-bottomed sub-cylindrical bowl (diam. 0.2m; D 0.19m) has been cut, leaving walls 0.04m thick. In section the block is subcircular at the top, octagonal midway down and square at the base. There are bulbous projections at the bottom of the four smaller chamfered faces. The broken off section at the top has been repaired with cement. It was at one time stored on the lawn in fornt of the church at Ballymote but was moved inside into the boiler house.

• SL033-163001 Religious house - Franciscan Third Order Regular
  Description

  On the W side of Ballymote town; in the NE corner of Ballymote graveyard (SL033-163002-). The remains of this friary consist of a rectangular gable-ended church (int. 28.5m E-W; 6.7m N-S; wall T c. 1.05m), built of roughly coursed limestone in a lime mortar. The N and E walls stand to near full height but the S and W walls are reduced a little in height. The structure was repaired in the 20th century by the OPW. The central doorway in the W wall is missing its door surround. Directly overhead, externally, is a limestone head with a three-tiered crown/tiara surmounted by a cross; H. G. Leask in an unpublished report dated 1940 (SMR (1989) file) noted that this might be the representation of a pope (but see Conlan 1991, 5). There is a smaller doorway near the E end of the N wall, which is rebuilt. Inside it, on the E side, is a broken limestone stoup, on the undersurface of which is a damaged carving of a beast, possibly an amphisbaena (pers. comm. M. A. Timoney). The E gable contains a large central window. The internal edge of the embrasure is plain except for a soffit rib with chamfered edges. Only a single jambstone and bottom corner stone, both on the N side, survive of the window tracery. Near the W end of the S wall is a tall wide, open archway (Wth 3.5m). A drawing dating from 1779 (Harbison 2002, fig. 67) shows a gabled structure against the S wall in this area but nothing of it stands. In the same illustration, a second gabled projection is shown further E on the S wall (ibid.). This is reduced to a pile of rubble (c. 5.9m N-S; c. 3.8m E-W). There are also three window opes in the S wall. The interior of the church contains many 18th- and 19th-century burials. A limestone stoup (SL033-115----) (H 0.15m; 0.49m x 0.29m) with a central round flat-bottomed bowl (diam. 0.22m; D 0.1m), which is in the nearby RC Church in Ballymote, may have come from the friary or from the former RC Church (now Loftus Hall) immediately E of the friary (pers. comm. M. A. Timoney). These are the remains of a Franciscan Third Order Regular foundation (Ó Muraíle 2002, 241, n. 35), which was given a papal licence in 1444 , was attacked and burned c. 1483 and by 1584 was 'totally ruined' (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 268). According to Conlan (1988, 108), it was 'taken over by the First Order c. 1643, and was used by them for nearly a hundred years afterwards.'

• SL033-163002 Graveyard
  Description

  An L-shaped graveyard (c. 80m N-S; c. 70m E-W), containing many 19th- and 20th-century graves and still in occasional use. It is largely clear of overgrowth except in the vicinity of Ballymote friary (SL033-163001-), a Franciscan foundation, which occupies the NE corner. The earliest memorial is dated 1706 (pers. comm. M. B. Timoney). There is a Neoclassical burial vault with an urn, just inside the S roadside wall. The neat lines of grave-markers date to 1986. 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).
