Lewis (1837, vol. 2, 189) mentioned under Kilmorgan parish 'several mounds of earth covering stone graves, in which bones and urns containing ashes have been found, whence it is inferred that a battle was anciently fought here'. The precise location of these graves is not known but Lewis may have been referring to either the bowl-barrow (SL033-104----) or the cairn (SL033-108----), both of which are in the parish of Kilmorgan.
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).
