What is recorded here

In 1836 it was recorded that, about seven years previously, a human skeleton 'much larger than the ordinary size with an unusually large musket by his side' was dug up in the townland of Ballybrennan to the W of Ballymote (OSNB vol. 1, 386). The exact location of this burial is not known. 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.
