• SL005-018 Midden
  Description

  Situated on the steep, exposed SW-facing slope of a sand dune, overlooking a cobble and sand beach and small bay to SW. The midden is located part-way down the dune slope about 8-10m above the beach. The shifting nature of the dunes exposes and obscures the layer over time, but on various occasion shells, fragments of animal bones and fire cracked stone have been noted extending over an area of 8m by 8m. A hammerstone was recovered from this area in 1962 (NMI 1964, 104). Following erosion and collapse of the dune slope in Winter 2020/21, an enlarged section of the midden layer was exposed, with burnt stone, charcoal-enriched soil, shells and bone fragments clearly visible in a dark brown/black soil matrix (pers. comm. Tamlyn Mc Hugh 2021). Attached image supplied courtesy of Tamlyn McHugh: SL005-018----_01.JPG Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of revised upload: 22 February 2021

• SL005-019 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated in level wet pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 26m) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth (Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.4m) with external fosse (Wth 4.1; D 0.6m). There is a slight trace of either an external bank or a counterscarp bank NNE- SSW visible as a band (Wth 3m) of lighter coloured grass. A modern field boundary bank of earth and stone, topped with a wire fence, lies along the line of the possible external bank SSW-NNE. A break (Wth 2m) in the bank, with a causeway across the fosse, marks the position of the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011

Generally circular area (int. diam. 19m) enclosed by a bank which at N has has an internal and external facing of large stones which continue up and onto the end of the court tomb cairn. This arrangement terminates with a large recumbent slab opposite the tomb entrance. At NW the interior is raised with only a slight bank and no stone facing. The E side is obscured by a field boundary and thick hedges. Compiler: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 22 April 2013

• SL005-162 Cist
  Description

  Situated on a slight SW-facing slope, at the SW end of a rise overlooking the sea, in gently undulating sand dune pasture. Rectangular depression (dims. 3.45m NE-SW; 0.45m NW-SE; D 0.15m), slightly curved at SW end, defined by a vertical scarped edge and 18 small limestone slabs (av. L 0.3m) laid on edge. The base of the depression is level. A possible capstone (L 0.45m; Wth. 0.4m; T .02m), now broken in two halves along its width, lies flat immediately to the NW of the SW end of the depression.

• SL005-169 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a slight N-facing slope in gently undulating pasture within a rath (SL005-019---) visible 200m to the N. Slightly raised roughly rectangular area (dims. 16m N-S; 15m E-W) encloses by a broad flat-topped bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.1m; int. H 0.7m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. From NE-SE the bank is almost entirely absent and the edge of the site is defined by a NNW-ESE orientated drystone wall with a laneway immediately to the E. The SW and NW corners of the bank have been almost entirely removed with only traces of the bank now visible. The original entrance is not recognisable. An ENE-WSW orientated drystone field wall crosses the S side of the interior and extends through the largely removed corner of the bank at SW. Compiled by: Patrick F.

• SL005-201 Signal tower
  Description

  Situated towards the N tip of a flat coastal plain (15m OD), c. 80m W from the coastline to its nearest point, with a small modern housing development located c. 420m to the SSE, and an area of sand dunes c. 900m to the S. The surrounding area consists of unenclosed machair pasture, with a small area of enclosed pasture surrounding the housing development. The site has unobstructed views in all directions. The adjacent signal tower at Knocklane Hill (SL007-057----), located c. 9.6kms to the SW, now survives as a low ruin, and can no longer be seen from this site; the signal tower at Killcologue Point (SL002-062----), located c. 8.25kms to the NE, has been largely demolished, and can no longer be seen from the site. Signal tower site located c. 892m NNE of a wedge tomb (SL005-017----). An early nineteenth-century two-storey square-plan signal tower, built with roughly coursed rubble masonry (int. dims. 4.25m NE-SW x 4.25m NW-SE). The signal tower consists of the semi-basement level of a signal tower that survives as a shallow square hole\cut lined with rubble stone walls, and a ragged survival of the first few courses (in places) of the former ground floor walls, which retain traces of lime mortar render to the internal faces. Only the internal wall faces and the tops of the surviving walls are now visible. The external wall faces are concealed by the sides of the cut into which the semi-basement level was built, and by a low bank of sand and rubble that surrounds the structure. The corners of the signal tower are aligned to the cardinal directions, with the walls facing NE, SE, SW and NW. The bottom of a square-sectioned vertical drainage channel is present at the N corner of the building. This is believed to have brought rainwater from the roof to storage barrels in the semi-basement. The signal tower was part of a system of over 80 signal stations constructed by the British Board of Ordnance in the first decade of the 19th century to warn of the approach of a French invasion fleet. Signalling between sites was accomplished using a naval signal post. The system formed a continuous chain from Dublin Bay running clockwise all the way around the coast to Malin Head in County Donegal. It was abandoned by the mid-1810s when the threat of a French invasion diminished (Kerrigan 1995, 157-66).
