What is recorded here

Indicated is a boundary mound in Glen Lower,slievemore OR Kingsmountain, County Sligo, Ireland. It is the ninth of twelve features marked on the 1837 and 1913 maps, positioned along the Slievemore or Kingsmountain border and extending 1.2km across elevated mountain pasture. The mounds probably date from after 1700 AD, though a 1991 fieldworker dismissed them as clearance cairns and a 2004 visit found no remains.

The ninth of twelve features (SL009-002----; SL009-002001-; SL009-002002-; SL009-002003-; SL009-002004-; SL009-002005-; SL009-002006-; SL009-002007-; SL009-002008-; SL009-002009-; SL009-002010-; SL009-002011-; SL009-002012-), each indicated with a dot on the OS 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. On the 1913 map each bears the designation 'Mound'. They are positioned along the border of Slievemore or Kingsmountain and a series of adjoining townlands to the S. The boundary mounds extend for a total of 1.2km along an undulating S-facing terrace, in elevated mountain pasture overlooking Glencar Lake to the SE. Views are panoramic from E-S-W and but elsewhere obscured by the summit of King's Mountain. In 1991 a fieldworker dismissed these potential monuments as 'clearance cairns' (SMR file). When visited in 2004 no remains were identified (SMR file). These are probably post 1700 AD features. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 01 August 2012
