What is recorded here

McCracken (1957, 133) lists Ballysadare as a charcoal-burning ironworks in the 17th and 18th centuries when ore was brought to here from nearby Dromahaire, Co Leitrim. The precise location of this ironworking site is not known. 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).

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
