Grave Yard

A rectangular graveyard (55m E-W; 35m N-S) enclosed by a drystone wall. Access is via a stile in the E wall and there is a flat stone on top of the wall immediately to the N of the stile on which coffins were placed while the mourners entered the graveyard (pers. comm. M. A. Timoney). Headstones date to the 19th century and there is a 19th-century baptismal font in the SE corner. The remains of a church (SL037-037001-) are in the W side of the interior. A castle (SL037-039----) lies c. 200m to the ENE. 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).
