Recorded monuments

• SL040-014 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In undulating pasture, on the top of a limestone bluff in the SW-facing foothills of the Bricklieve Mountains. A broadly oval area (int. diam. 30.1m NW-SE; 24.2m NE-SW) enclosed by a substantial ruined stone wall (Wth 4m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1m). Large limestone boulders protruding from the bank may be remains of external stone facing. From W-NW the outer edge of the stony bank coincides with a low natural scarp of limestone. A few metres to W there is an abrupt drop (H c. 4m) at the base of which is flat wet pasture. From E-SE are remains of a field boundary wall (Wth c. 1m) grafted onto the external face of the stone bank and rising c. 0.4m above it. A low berm-like stony spread (Wth 2m; H 0.4m) skirts the base of the stone bank SE-WSW. The interior is level and grass-covered. There is a possible entrance (Wth 2m) at E. Another cashel (SL040-146----) lies 24m to ENE. 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).

• SL040-146 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In undulating pasture, above a scarp, near the base of Carrowkeel Mountain. A raised oval area (int. diam. 17.5m x 12m) enclosed by a ruinous sod-covered stone wall (Wth 2m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.55m) best evident along the E and S arcs. External wall-facing is evident along the W arc. There is a field boundary immediately to SE. A possible entrance at SSE was noted during a previous site inspection in 1978 (SMR (1989) file). Another cashel (SL040-014----) lies c. 20m to WSW. 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).

• SL040-148001 Church
  Description

  In pasture, on a S-facing slope overlooking Templevanny Lough to the W; in the centre of Templevanny graveyard (SL040-148002-) and within a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (SL040-148004-). Though mention is made in 1836 of 'the ruins of an old Church or Monastery called Teampull a Mhanaig' at this site (OSL, 151), there is no trace of it in the graveyard. It may be the structure shown on the E side of the graveyard on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, adjacent to the enclosing wall, and it was probably removed when the graveyard was extended on that side. A fragment of a window probably from the church, which was found here, is in the NMI (M. B. Timoney 2001b, 54). A section of Bóthar an Corrann (SL033-145----) lies c. 1.1km to the W. 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).

• SL040-148002 Graveyard
  Description

  A subrectangular graveyard (c. 60m NW-SE; c. 50m NE-SW), with a recent extension to E, enclosed by a stone wall and containing many 19th- and 20th-century grave-plots marked with limestone headstones. There are no visible remains of the of the possible church (SL040-14801-) which was reported here in 1836 (OSL, 151). In the graveyard is a 17th-century recumbent graveslab (SL040-148006-) of Thomas C. Mervin, who died in 1672 (pers. comm. M. B. Timoney). Some quernstones, metal slag and a sandstone window fragment from here are in the NMI (pers. comm. M. A. Timoney). It has also been noted (M. B. Timoney 2001b, 54) that the memorials in the graveyard are arranged in a curving pattern, possibly indicating the former existence of a possible circular ecclesiastical enclosure (SL040-148004-). 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).

• SL040-148004 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  This possible ecclesiastical enclosure is on the same site as or encloses Templevanny graveyard (SL040-148002-). Timoney (M. B. 2001b, 54) has noted that 'the curve of the grave memorials indicate an earlier circular enclosure', possibly dating to the 7th century.

  Description

• SL040-249 Burnt mound
  Description

  In lowlying, rush-grown pasture on the N shore of Templevanny Lough. Visible as a very low, subcircular rise or mound (diam. c. 15m; H 0.3m), with an irregular, undulating sod-covered surface. The mound has a clearly defined sloping edge at E−S, but merges gradually with the surrounding ground elsewhere. A few large stones (max. dim. 0.2-0.3m) protrude from the surface on the NW edge. The mound feels firm and compact underfoot, which contrasts with the softer, damper surrounding ground. Probing revealed a concentration of limestone fragments in a dark, peaty soil. While it was unclear if the soil contained charcoal fragments, it appeared darker in colour to the peaty soil in the surrounding field. There are a number of shallow, surface dips or depressions, but none that could be interpreted with certainty as indicating the location of a trough. It is located 6m N of the current lake shore, but may have been closer to the water’s edge or even inundated in times past. This may be the remains of a burnt mound. Or it may a lakeshore settlement feature; in this light it is interesting to note a crannog (SL040-147----) located on the W shore of the lake, 85m to SW. There is also a possibility that the mound relates to some more recent farming or land reclamation activity. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 6 July 2018
