An L-shaped graveyard (c. 80m N-S; c. 70m E-W), containing many 19th- and 20th-century graves and still in occasional use. It is largely clear of overgrowth except in the vicinity of Ballymote friary (SL033-163001-), a Franciscan foundation, which occupies the NE corner. The earliest memorial is dated 1706 (pers. comm. M. B. Timoney). There is a Neoclassical burial vault with an urn, just inside the S roadside wall. The neat lines of grave-markers date to 1986.
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).
