Lewis (1837, vol. 1, 380) recorded that 'on the lands of Church Hill is a large cromlech, consisting of a horizontal and three upright stones.' This feature, whatever its true nature, has not been located despite an extensive search of the townland. It may be that this possible megalithic tomb is in that part of Church Hill which is on OS 6-inch map 38. It is also possible that this refers to the megalithic structure in the nearby townland of Achonry (SL032-189----).
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).

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.
