Grave Yd. (Disused)

Graveyard

What is recorded here

On a break of slope, on the lower S-facing slopes of the Ox Mountains. Indicated on the 1838 and 1914 OS 6-inch maps as a small rectangular enclosure (c. 20m NNE-SSW; c. 13m WNW-ESE). There are no visible remains of the graveyard. The area is planted with coniferous trees. On the 1838 OS 6-inch map, a small roughly square area (10m N-S; 10m E-W) defined by a broken line, abuts the N half of its WNW side. 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).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
