Cist in Unknown

According to Wood-Martin (1887-8, 269), 'On a hill, in the townland of Ballinaclassa, a short way west of Doomore, we find a small earthen circumvallation which once surrounded a carn. Early in the century, on the stones being removed for fencing purposes, a cist was laid bare, which contained a couple of urns...'. No such townland is listed for Sligo so the exact location of this cist remains unknown. (Waddell 1990, 132) 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).
