In pasture, on a gentle E-facing slope. The remains of a rectangular structure (int. c. 17m E-W; 5.5m N-S) are evident in places as a scarp and in other places by up to three courses of a mortared stone wall (Wth 1.3m; H 0.6-1m); the E end-wall does not survive. The orientation of the structure suggests the remains of a small church and it could be a chapel associated with the pilgrimage to Achonry (see O'Rorke 1878, 417). The main ecclesiastical remains at Achonry, which include the cathedral (SL032-188002-) and graveyard (SL032-188003-), lie c. 100m to the SW. O'Rorke (1878, 422) noted that 'some hundreds of paces to the north-east (of the graveyard) are the ruins and rubbish of a building, which the inhabitants of Achonry call The College'. He is probably referring to this structure.
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).
