Wood-Martin (1887-8, 273) recorded the discovery, in the 1870s, of a cist 'on a hill called Sheeawn' (SL025-051001-) which 'contained two urns, one inside of the other'. There are no visible remains of this cist. It is one of three cists known from Rathbarran townland (see SL025-071002- and SL025-151----). (Waddell 1990, 133)
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).
