• SL020-096 Field boundary
  Description

  On low-lying ground, projecting to NW into Ballysadare Bay. A section of a disused gently curving earthen field boundary (L 56m; Wth 3.6m; H c. 0.2m), c. 18m of which is on a NE-SW axis with the remaining 38m extending to SE from the NE end. This field boundary is overlain by faint traces of cultivation ridges (Wth 0.8m; H 0.1m), c. 0.3m apart. 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).

• SL020-097 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, a short distance WSW from the top of a prominent hillock. A slightly raised, roughly oval area (34.7m WNW-ESE; 23.3m NNE-SSW) enclosed ENE-S by a low grass-covered bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.3m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 1m) and by a scarp (H 0.4m) along the W arc. For the remainder of the circuit the bank has been levelled and its outline is now identifiable in only a few places. A field boundary wall (long axis NNE-SSW) crosses the W half of the interior.

• SL020-133001 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a knoll, from which the ground slopes gently down to E and more steeply down to S and W. An oval area (int. diam. c. 31m E-W; c. 24m N-S) defined by the remains of two collapsed stone walls. The inner wall is evident NW-SE as a grass-covered spread of stones (Wth 5.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.3m) with traces of inner stone facing at NW and SE. Elsewhere the interior is defined by a scarp (H 0.4m) with a short stretch (L 3m) of stone facing along the SW arc. Remains of an outer wall are evident N-SE as a grass-covered spread of stones (Wth 2.7m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.7m). A single inner and outer facing stone at N give an estimated original wall thickness of 1.9m. There is a field boundary wall on the line of the outer cashel wall SSE-SSW and another to W of the cashel. A section of both inner and outer walls has been removed at NE due to the construction of a three-roomed rectangular stone-built structure (largest room 7m NE-SW; 2.2m NW-SE), with its walls now reduced to grass-covered spreads of stones. There is a possible souterrain (SL020-133002-) in the SW quadrant of the interior. A midden (D 0.4m), evident in section through the inner cashel wall at E was noted during a previous site inspection in 1992 (SMR (1989) file). There are cultivation ridges immediately to NW of the cashel, overlying the line of the outer cashel wall at NW. There is a small rectangular field immediately to SW of the cultivation ridges. There is a disused quarry c. 20m to N of the cashel.

• SL020-135001 Church
  Description

  In level pasture. The ruin of a rectangular church (int. 12m E-W; 5.3m N-S) built of roughly coursed stonework, the walls (T c. 1m) of which are much reduced in height. Internally a short section of a cross-wall (H 0.3m; Wth 0.7m) extends 0.6m from the S wall, just W of the centre. The church was better preserved when described by O'Rorke (1878, 278-81), who noted an E window 'three feet [0.91m] high, the opening to the outside seeming to have been only four inches [0.1m], but with a splay on the inside of five or six feet [1.52-1.82m]'. He also described a window in the S wall with a square-headed light 'four inches [0.1m] wide to outside, but splayed internally to three feet [0.91m]'. The church was known as Kildalough church (O'Rorke [1889], vol. 2, 336-8). There is a possible graveyard (SL020-135002-) to the E.

There is a small square, single story structure (5.35m x 5.3m) at the E end of the yard with a wide cut-stone arch. There is another building (7.4m N-S; 4.8m E-W) at right-angles to the latter with a door ope at the N end facing onto the seashore.
