What is recorded here

Killack means the church of the flagstones, yet no church or graveyard remains visible in Newpark. A large circular enclosure still traces across the ground, perhaps marking the exact boundary where faith and death once shared one small field. The absence is not emptiness; it is a shape waiting to be remembered.

According to MacDonagh (1936, 198), there is a tradition of a church (SL033-167----) and graveyard in 'a field called Killack, the church of the flagstones'. Here, the outline of a large circular enclosure (SL033-167002-), possibly an ecclesiastical enclosure, can still be traced at ground level, but there is no visible trace of a church (SL033-167----) or graveyard (SL033-167001-). 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.
