Graveyard

What is recorded here

A rectangular graveyard (39m E-W; 31m N-S) enclosed by a stone wall and covered by scrub overgrowth. Just N of the centre are the fragmentary remains of the late medieval parish church of Ballysumaghan (SL027-011001-). Immediately to the W of the church is a large mausoleum of the Neynoe family (O'Rorke [1889], vol. 2, 248-9). Built into the wall by the entrance gate is a bullaun stone (SL027-011004-). Immediately SE of the graveyard is the site of a possible Man-made underground passage (SL027-011003-). 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).
