What is recorded here

Grave Yd. is a graveyard in Carrickard, County Sligo, Ireland. It is a rectangular site enclosed by a stone wall, holding inscribed headstones from the 18th to the 20th centuries. The medieval parish church of Kilmactrany likely stood just north of the early 19th-century Church of Ireland building. A 17th-century stone cross last appeared on the McConmee vault in 1995 but cannot be found now.

A rectangular graveyard (c. 65m SW-NE; c. 45m SE-NW), including a recent extension, enclosed by a stone wall. Inscribed headstones date from the 18th to the 20th centuries.
