What is recorded here
Habitation site in Glebe (tireragh By.) is a habitation site in Glebe (tireragh By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a naturally occurring platform north of Skreen Church of Ireland, near older ecclesiastical remains. Trenches dug in 1962 for a new rectory revealed hearths, animal bones, sea shells, a bone spindle-whorl and a bone pin.
Situated a short distance N of Skreen Church of Ireland and in proximity to the Early Christian and later medieval ecclesiastical remains (see SL019-006---, SL019-007---- and SL019-008----). It comprised an apparently naturally-occurring platform. Habitation material was uncovered in trenches excavated in 1962 as part of the construction of a new rectory. This included hearths, quantities of animal bones and sea shells, a bone spindle-whorl and a bone pin. (NMI Topographical File 1962; Lucas 1964, 98)
