According to Wood-Martin (1887-8, 266-8), a highly decorated cinerary urn and fragments of two others were found near Ballymote in 1827. The best preserved specimen was ' 5 3/8 in. [0.13m] in height, and 5 3/4 in. [0.15m] across the mouth; the colour light drab.' Not precisely located. Waddell (1970, 128) noted that according to the NMI Register the urns were found in a 'vault' but the nature of this vault is not known. (Ó Ríordáin and Waddell 1993, 129)
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).
