What is recorded here

Grave Yd. (Disused) is a graveyard in Inchmore Island, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies an oval area 34m east-west and 22.5m north-south, bounded partly by a one-metre stony scarp and elsewhere by a faint one-metre rim. A two-metre opening at the west may have served as an entrance, while rectangular stones scattered across the uneven interior surface may still mark individual graves.

An oval area (34m E-W; 22.5m N-S) defined NNE-SE by a stony scarp (H 1m) that coincides with a break of slope, and elsewhere by a barely discernible stony rim (Wth c. 1m). A possible entrance (Wth c. 2m) is at W. The interior is level but the surface is uneven due to concentrations of stones, some of which are rectangular and may mark graves. There are no visible remains of the associated church (SL046-038001-). There is a possible Man-made underground passage (SL046-038003-) in the SW quadrant. 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).
