Childrens Burial Ground

In pasture, on the N-facing slope of a low rise, c. 1km ESE of Mullany's Cross. Indicated by an arc (C c. 35m) of hachures WSW-NW, on the W side of a field boundary, on the 1914 OS 6-inch map. A circular partially waterlogged hollow (diam. 8m; D 1.3m) containing two low stones and known locally as a 'killeen', is all that remains of this burial ground. A fragment of a quernstone (SL037-006003-) which was found here is now in the NMI (pers. comm. M. A. Timoney). 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).
