What is recorded here

Kilcoo in Slattinagh holds a medieval cross-slab and monastic remains, marking an early Christian community buried beneath Fermanagh grass. The stone still stands where prayers once echoed, waiting for hands rough enough to read its forgotten carvings.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MONASTIC SITE WITH CROSS-SLAB: KILCOO. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL; E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

This site likely dates to the early medieval period and was associated with a Christian monastic settlement, as indicated by the presence of a cross-slab. Such stones often served as memorials or markers of religious significance, reflecting the spread of Christianity in the region.

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