What is recorded here

A concentration of oyster shells was discovered immediately outside the NE wall of Kilboglashy graveyard (SL020-109002-) and oyster shells were also noted on the surface of the graveyard during a graveyard clean-up scheme in 1995 (M. B. Timoney 2002, 150). Another shell midden (SL020-109007-) was found at the base of the S boundary wall of the graveyard. A third shell midden (SL020-109013-) is in the field to the S of the graveyard. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
