What is recorded here

Laghtsigh holds a circular burial ground twenty-nine yards across where grass-covered moods still mark the dead beneath an open sky. The place belongs to D. Kelleher's land, giving nearby fields names like Pairc na Cille while six removed flat stones hint at a lost church called Cillin na Sleanntog. Without a fence to exclude the living, the site remains exposed, strange and quietly occupied by memory.

According to Bowman (1934, 665), burial ground and church site (14517) in D. Kelleher's land which gives name 'Cillin' to sub-division of townland and 'Pairc na Cille' to field. He continues that site is called 'Cillin na Sleanntog - (little church of the slaty stones). There is no surrounding fence. Grass-covered mounds are strewn irregularly on the site. Site circular, diam. 29yds. Six large flat stones were removed from Mr Kelleher's land. These were lying flat on the ground.' (ibid.). Exact location not known.
