A sléan, often referred to as a "sleán," is a traditional Irish agricultural tool used primarily for cutting and gathering turf, or peat, from bogs. It resembles a long-handled spade with a wide, flat blade, designed for slicing into the ground to lift and remove the moist, fibrous material. This tool has historical significance in Ireland, reflecting the cultural practices surrounding turf-cutting and land management. The sléan is emblematic of rural life and has been used for generations in the Irish countryside.
