Located on the small Inishmagrath Island (area c. 3 ha; c. 8 acres) near the N shore of Lough Allen, and probably the site of the parish church of Inishmagrath, which was sometimes known as the ‘Parish of the Island’ (Lewis 1837, 2, 24). The church (LE018-037001-) is within a rectangular graveyard defined by earth and stone banks but there is no evidence of grave-markers, although traditionally it was a popular burial place of burial (M'Parlan 1802, 105-7). Funerals departed for the island from Gob na nDaoine Marbh – Dead Man’s Point, which is the nearest point of the shore c. 300m to the NE. (Fuaghnan 1943, No. 143; Clancy and Forde 1980, 6-9)
