Graveyard in Kilmorgan, County Sligo

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

A rectangular graveyard (c. 38m SE-NW; 22m NE-SW) enclosed by a stone wall. Access is through a piered entrance in the W wall; these may be the 'pair of pillars' erected here in 1820 (Timoney and Timoney 2000). The ruin of the medieval parish church of Kilmorgan (SL034-081001-) occupies the NE corner. Headstones date from the 18th to the 20th centuries and there are also a number of collapsed chest-tombs and three vaults including a large 19th-century mausoleum of the MacDonagh family.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL034-081002
