Church in Cloonmacduff

According to O'Rorke (1878, 93-4; 97), a 17th-century map shows a church or the ruins of a church on the land known as 'Patrick's pasture', located at the E side of Cloonmacduff townland and associated with a cashel (SL020-218002-). No remains of a church were noted here. A 'Druids Altar' (SL020-218003-) is in the centre of the cashel and St Patrick's well (SL020-217----) is c. 160m to SSW. 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).
