What is recorded here

Sligo’s lost battlefield graveyard vanished beneath grass, leaving only rectangular shadows and church foundations to mark where the dead lay. The land swallowed the stones, erased the fences, and folded the grave into ordinary ground. What raged there is gone, but the shape remains, waiting for someone to read the silence.

Indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a roughly rectangular enclosure (c. 40m N-S; c. 25m E-W). There are no visible remains of the graveyard but the grass-covered foundations of a possible church (SL039-132001-) are evident. 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).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
