At a leacht (SL001-011----), known as ‘Laghta Patrick’, at the east end of the Inishmurray. O’Donovan (1836 'Sligo Letters' OS Letters, no. 36. Royal Irish Academy) commented that Laghta Patrick (SL001-011----) was 'a square pile of stones, on the top of which an ornamental stone cross stands'. No further details are known about this slab. The cross was not observed by any authorities since O'Donovan and may have been long since washed away or broken up on the nearby storm rubble of Rue point. Limited archaeological investigation (licence: 99E0382) in 1999 identified the base of the leacht (SL001-011----), but no trace of the cross was found on or around the excavation site or on the storm-rubble beach below (O’Sullivan and Ó Carragáin 2008, 239-241). Monks and pilgrims in an Atlantic landscape. Cork. The Collins Press.
