Ballynakill Church (in Ruins)

In level low-lying terrain; in the centre of a graveyard (SL027-094002-). Only a featureless portion of the E wall of the church stands (L 8m; H 1.4m; T 0.9m). Built against the base of its W face is a pile of mortared stone which includes a moulded jambstone (SL027-094003-). These may be part of a window surround, possibly the 'lancet window' mentioned by O'Rorke ([1889], vol. 2, 249). These are the remains of the medieval parish church of Ballynakill. 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).
