• SL031-016 Enclosure
  Description

  In rocky upland pasture, on a S-facing slope of the Ox Mountains. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m). Indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a semicircular area, represented by a solid line S-NW, abutting the W side of a NW-SE field boundary. The remains consist of a curving field boundary wall at the W end of a rectangular field. The remainder of the enclosure is not visible at ground level. A small D-shaped field is indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map immediately to NW in the adjoining field. This survives as an arc W-NNW formed by a derelict stone-faced scarp cut into the upslope and enclosing the SE corner (23m x 14m) of a field. A cashel (SL031-017----) lies c. 50m to NE. 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).

• SL031-017 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a steep S-facing slope of the Ox Mountains. A roughly circular area (26.8m N-S; 24.5m E-W) enclosed by a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 2.7m). Traces of inner and outer facing of large stones are evident. The entrance (Wth 1.2m) is at E; there is a break in the wall at NW. The S half of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. A NNW-SSE field boundary wall crosses the interior. A field system (SL031-017001-) lies to SE, S and SW of the cashel. A circular enclosure (SL031-016----) lies c. 50m to SW.

• SL031-017001 Field system
  Description

  In rough upland pasture, on a S-facing slope of the Ox Mountains and adjacent to a cashel (SL031-017----). A low heather and scrub-covered rise (L c. 15m), from which an occasional stone protrudes, extends from the cashel wall at SE. From there a densely overgrown stone-faced scarp (H 1m) extends eastwards along a natural break in slope for c. 40m until it abuts a N-S property boundary wall. Due to a forest plantation it was not possible to determine if the scarp extends further to the E. Remnants of an E-W wall can also be traced c. 20m downslope to S. A line of tall ferns, extending a short distance to SW from the cashel wall at W, may also indicate the remains of a wall. Immediately to W of the cashel is a large rectangular field which is indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map. 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).

• SL031-019001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough pasture and forestry, on the S slopes of the Ox Mountains. A roughly circular area (24.5m N-S; 27m E-W) terraced into the hillslope at N and defined by a scarp NE-SW. The scarp is revetted NE-S by a drystone wall (H 1.8m) and in places by rock outcrop. Generally the interior slopes gently down to S and is c. 1m below external ground level along the N edge. Two flat areas have been created in the interior: one, a possible house (6m x 6m) (SL031-019002-) in the N half is defined by a scarp revetted with stones, the other, a possible hut site (2.7m x 5m) (SL031-019003-)is located immediately to S and is defined on the W side by a row of stones. Cultivation ridges cross the interior on a N-S axis. Rock outcrops were noted in the NW, NE and SE quadrants. Coniferous trees have been planted along the W perimeter. A N-S field boundary crosses the W half of 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).

• SL031-019002 House - early medieval
  Description

  In the N half of the interior of a rath (SL031-019001-). This consists of a square flat area (6m N-S; 6m E-W) defined by a scarp revetted with stones. Immediately to S is a possible hut site (SL031-019003-). Both appear to pre-date the cultivation ridges which cross the rath interior.

• SL031-019003 Hut site
  Description

• SL031-026 Souterrain
  Description

  In pasture, amongst rock outcrops, on a S-facing slope of the Ox Mountains.

• SL031-035 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In flat marshy ground, c. 350m W of the River Moy. A slightly raised roughly circular area (c. 28m E-W) enclosed by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.5m) E-SW and WNW-N and by a scarp SW-WNW. A field boundary and drain truncate the bank N-ENE. The entrance (Wth 3.5m) is at SE. An external boggy flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 6m; D 0.5m) is evident ENE-SE and NW-N. The interior is wet and overgrown with hawthorn bushes. There is a field boundary immediately to SE.
