Recorded monuments
- SL032-161001 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on the W-facing slope of a ridge. A roughly circular area (29m N-S; 33.2m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.4m). A dry flat-bottomed external fosse (Wth 4.4m; D 0.2m) survives NE-NW. There are numerous cattle gaps in the bank. The W portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope though there is still a slope down to the W. There are two souterrain openings (SL032-161002-) in the interior. 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
- SL032-161002 Souterrain
Description
In a rath (SL032-161001-). A passage is visible through an opening in the NW and S portions of the interior of the rath. At NW the opening is partially blocked but reveals a passage (Wth 0.9m) sloping down steeply and roofed by large flat stone lintels. The second passage, in the S portion of the interior, is also roofed by large flat stone lintels. 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
- SL032-162 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, just below the summit of a ridge on a W-facing slope. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It was indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m) and on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as an oval embanked area (c. 30m NNW-SSE; c. 25m ENE-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). Date of upload: 18 January 2008
- SL032-163001 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on the top of a ridge. A raised circular area (31.7m N-S) enclosed by a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 2.3m; H 0.2m) with an intervening fosse and an outer earthen bank S-SE. The drystone wall is topped by a stone field boundary ENE-SW. The fosse (Wth 5.9m) is separated from the drystone wall by a narrow berm before dropping 1.1m to the base of the fosse. The outer bank (Wth 5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1m) is truncated at NE by a field boundary. There is a causeway across the fosse at NW. There is a souterrain (SL032-163002-) in the NW quadrant. 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
- SL032-163002 Souterrain
Description
In the NW quadrant of a rath (SL032-163001-). According to local information, an opening to a drystone-built passage was blocked some time ago. The surface evidence for the souterrain now consists of a low sod-covered rise (Wth c. 2m) which extends from the bank of the rath at WNW for 10m south-eastwards into the interior. At the ESE end it expands into an irregular sod-covered stony rise. The SSE side of the rise is formed by a concentration of large stones in a roughly horseshoe-shaped setting. 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
- SL032-164 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on the gentle S-facing slope of a ridge and now within the grounds of a golf club. An oval area (27.7m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1m). The bank is highest along the E and SE arcs due to the dumping of material on it. An external fosse (Wth 3.6m; D 0.3m) is evident along the N arc. The interior is cut up due to the storage of golf course maintenance equipment. 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).
