What is recorded here
Knockmore in County Sligo carries a local story about a graveyard beside a possible church, yet no grave, marker or boundary remains visible. The earth may have swallowed the deaths and the people may have forgotten the names, leaving only a shape in the landscape. What is certain is that the place still belongs to memory, not proof.
There is a local tradition of a graveyard associated with the possible church (SL041-048001-) at Knockmore. However there are no visible remains of any graveyard here and no local information could be found on its existence during a site inspection in 2003.
