What is recorded here

The outline of a possible early ecclesiastical enclosure (c. 250m NW-SE; c. 200m NE-SW), coinciding with the NW wall of the graveyard extension and enclosing a broad sweep of ground NE-S, is visible in an aerial photograph (CUCAP, AVJ 22) taken in 1968. However, no remains of it are visible at ground level. 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). Date of upload: 18 January 2008
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.
