What is recorded here

Survives as a section of townland boundary between Slade and Crooksling. It runs along the crest of land that falls away to the NW, overlooking Saggart Village. Comprises a bank with contiguous internal and external fosse. The bank is flat-topped (H 1m-1.10m, Wth 5m). The internal fosse is largely silted up (Wth 1.50m, D 0.30m-0.40m) whereas the external fosse is overgrown (Wth 3m, D 0.50m). This feature has been interpreted as a medieval boundary to Saggart Commons (Ua Broin 1957, 39-41). Compiled by Geraldine Stout
