What is recorded here
In a slight col with hills to the NW and SE. Land at Sleaveen that had been owned by Dermot O'Conor in 1641 was transferred to Garret Dillon under the Cromwellian settlement (Simington 1949, 49). Field banks covering an area of about 36 acres (c. 15 ha) that are visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP: M, 82-3) have been removed, apart from an area of about 7 acres (c. 3 ha) NW of the NE-SW Tulsk - Castleplunket road where rectangular fields (dims c. 25-50m x c. 100m) defined by low scarps survive. The house (RO028-052002-) is within the area where the field system has been removed. Archaeological testing (03E0428; 03E0697) within the area S of the public road during 2003 failed to produce any related material (Carey 2006; Read 2006g).
