What is recorded here

There is a late nineteenth century reference to a graveyard in the townland of Labbyeslin that had whitethorn trees, and from which the townland got its name (Williams, TCD MSS 1483 (G.S. 17-20). The name Labbyeslin from Leaba Eislinne – Eilslin’s Bed – suggests a megalithic structure rather than a graveyard. There are no other references, not even in the Schools Manuscripts, and if a graveyard exists it remains unlocated. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 13 April, 2017

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

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
