Its exact ocation could not be ascertained. 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).

The church in Ballynacarrow North was likely built by monks from Emlaghfad, probably in the early medieval period, and served as a place of worship during their local missionary activities. Its dedication or architectural style is not specified, but it reflects the broader monastic influence in the region during the early Christian era.
