• SL040-027001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, crowning the top of a hill in the W foothills of the Bricklieve Mountains. A large broadly oval enclosure (c. 62m N-S; 55m E-W) straddling a break of slope on the NE side of the hilltop. The interior is divided S of centre by a field boundary with a drain on its N side. To S of the field boundary the interior is defined E-SW by a low earthen bank (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.65m) with a vertical external slope and a low internal lip resembling field boundaries in the vicinity and probably a modification of the original enclosing element. The bank is poorly preserved E-S. To N of the field boundary the enclosing element has been levelled but the outline is still evident WSW-ENE as a curving undulation. It is evident WSW-N as a partially levelled scarp (H 0.5m), reduced N-ENE to a slight undulation, and visible NE-E as a broad scarp (H c. 1m) merging with the natural slope. At the base of the scarp N-E is a shallow fosse-like depression (Wth 1.5m) cut into the hillslope. This appears to be the remains of a field boundary that skirted the E side of the enclosure. Two field boundaries shown on the 1914 OS 6-inch map intersecting at the N edge of the rath have been removed. The interior is generally level but the E half slopes gently down to E. Faint cultivation ridges are visible crossing the interior, on an E-W axis to N of the field boundary and on NE-SW axis to S of the boundary. There is a hut site (SL040-027002-) in the SE quadrant.

• SL040-027002 Hut site
  Description

  In the SE quadrant of a rath (SL040-027001-), built on or against the rath's enclosing bank. The remains of a possible rectangular structure (c. 9m NE-SW; c. 5m NW-SE) which is largely engulfed in gorse and brambles. The hut site was difficult to inspect but it appears to be constructed of a low, very degraded earthen bank (Wth c. 0.5m, H 0.3m) with many gaps. Doorways, described as a 'N and S doorway' noted during a previous site inspection in 1978 (SMR (1989) file) are no longer discernible due to the overgrowth.

• SL040-028 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, enclosing the top of a drumlin. A raised subcircular area (int. diam. 54m x 53m) defined by a poorly preserved earthen bank (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.1m) except along the NE arc where the bank has been removed and at W where it has been quarried into.

• SL040-081001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough upland pasture, in the Bricklieve Mountains. A D-shaped area (dims. 23m WNW-ESE; min. 20m NNE-SSW) defined on the straight NW side by a field boundary wall and a road and ENE-W by a shallow fosse with an external bank. The road probably truncates the rath. The shallow fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.3m) is a poorly defined depression of damp ground, marked by a growth of rushes. The bank (Wth 5.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.3m) is evident as a low rise with a well-defined inner face bordering the fosse but with a broad low external slump. It is best preserved E-S, becoming increasingly degraded S-W. There is a break (Wth 4.4m) in the bank at S with a causeway (Wth c. 3m) across the fosse. The interior is level but has a slight depression (diam. 7m) in the W half.

• SL040-083 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In pasture, located on a level terrace on the steep W-facing slope of a limestone ridge, on the W flank of the Bricklieve Mountains. The slope rise immediately to E of the cashel to a low exposed limestone cliff face, then rises again in a series of terraces and limestone escarpments to the ridge summit, which is crowned by a cairn (SL040-103----), c. 375m to SE. The terrace overlooks a small valley of damp pasture, with extensive views beyond to SW−W of a broad sweep of undulating countryside. Kesh Corran looms at NW. One of two conjoined cashels; the second cashel (SL040-083002-) lies immediately to N. This cashel consists of a broadly oval area (28m E−W; 21.5m N−S) defined by remnants of a wall. The wall is evident as a low, moss-covered stony rise (Wth 1.5-2m; H 0.2-0.4); stones can be glimpsed or felt beneath the moss and sod, but no intact section of wall structure is visible. The cashel encompasses the full E−W width of the terrace, with the E arc cut into the rising slope, creating an inward-facing scarp (H 1-1.2m), and the W arc merging with the break of slope at the edge of the terrace, where ground falls away steeply. The N arc of the enclosing wall, which is shared with the second cashel (SL040-083002-), appears more substantial (Wth 3m; H 0.5m), but this is largely because it is overlain by a later E-W field wall, which is also ruined and moss-covered. The interior has a very slight slope down to W, reflecting the natural incline of the terrace. There is a souterrain (SL040-083001-) in the SW quadrant. The souterrain consisting of a length of collapsed passage, evident as a linear depression (L 10.5m), with several exposed and displaced roofing lintels tipping into it. It extends on a NE-SW axis from close to the cashel wall at SW to the centre of the interior. Immediately to W of the souterrain there is a slight rise in interior ground level. Remnants of a wall, visible as a low, moss-covered stony rise, extend from the NE end of the souterrain to the cashel wall at E; this wall may post-date the cashel. Adjacent to the enclosing wall in the SE quadrant there is a line of moss-covered stony hummocks (L 2-3m E−W), possible a wall remnant of some kind of structure or internal division of the cashel –but this is very uncertain. There is another moss covered concentration of stones (c. 2m across) close to the enclosing wall at S, also of uncertain significance. Barely discernible linear cropmarks, on an E−W axis, are visible throughout the interior, and are suggestive of ridge and furrow cultivation. The location of the original entrance is unclear: there a small break (Wth c. 1m) in the enclosing wall at S and another at SW, and at NW there may have been a gap allowing access to the other cashel, but all are poorly defined and uncertain. Two large close-set slabs, one clearly edge-set in the ground, are located 2m outside the cashel wall at S; it is possible that they are related to the cashel, but they may simply be remnants of an E−W field wall.

• SL040-083001 Souterrain
  Description

  In a cashel (SL040-083----). This souterrain (SL040-083001-) is located in the SW quadrant of the cashel. It consists of a length of collapsed passage, evident as a shallow, grassed-over linear depression (L 10.5m; Wth 2-3m; D 0.7-1m), with several exposed and displaced roofing lintels tipping into it. It extends on a NE−SW axis from close to the cashel wall at SW to the centre of the interior. Glimpses of intact drystone walling can be seen in parts on the SE side of the passage, but the NW side is low, slumped and entirely sod-covered. At least seven massive limestone roofing lintels remain more or less in place. A few are close-set or contiguous, but there are large gaps between others. The E end of some lintels are still in situ, resting on intact sections of the drystone wall on the SE side of the passage;the opposite ends are collapsed into the base of the passage.

• SL040-083002 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Located on a level terrace on the steep W-facing slope of a limestone ridge, on the W flank of the Bricklieve Mountains. The slope rise immediately to E of the cashel to a low exposed limestone cliff face, then rises again in a series of terraces and limestone escarpments to the ridge summit, which is crowned by a cairn (SL040-103----), c. 375m to SE. The terrace overlooks a small valley of damp pasture, with extensive views beyond to SW−W of a broad sweep of undulating countryside. Kesh Corran looms at NW. One of two conjoined cashels; the other cashel (SL040-083----) lies on the S side. This cashel consists of a broadly oval area (22m E−W; 18.6m N−S) defined by remnants of a wall. The wall is evident as a low, moss-covered stony rise (Wth 1.5-2m; H 0.2-0.4); stones can be glimpsed or felt beneath the moss and sod, but no intact section of wall is visible. The cashel encompasses the full E−W width of the terrace, with the E arc cut into the rising slope, creating an inward-facing scarp (H 1-1.2m). At SE−SW the enclosing wall is shared with the second cashel (SL040—083---) and is overlain by remnants of a later E−W field wall. At SW−NW, the wall coincides with the break of slope at the edge of the terrace, where ground falls away steeply. The N arc is gapped; it is poorly preserved at NW, but somewhat better preserved at N−NE. There is a gap (Wth 3m) at N, which may be an original entrance; however, it opens onto a narrow, shallow depression or trench (Wth 1-1.5m; D 0.3-0.4m), which extends from the gap into the interior to S for 4m. The function of this depression is unclear; there is no definitive evidence to suggest that it is part of a souterrain. The cashel interior is level. A remnant of an E−W wall extends through the interior. It can be traced as a slight mossy rise (Wth c. 1m; H 0.1-0.2m), extending from the enclosing wall at W for 5-6m to E toward the centre of the interior. There is a low, moss-covered rise (L c. 2m E−W), of uncertain significance, just S of centre. Barely discernible cropmarks on an E-W axis throughout the interior may be the remnants of cultivation ridges. At SW there is a low section/possible gap in the enclosing wall shared with the conjoined cashel (SL040-083----), which might represent an access point between the two cashels, but this is uncertain.
