On flat ground, with bogland to NE, E and S; in the centre of Kilturra graveyard (SL038-121002-). Only fragmentary foundations of a rectangular church (c. 20m E-W; c. 5m N-S), built of sandstone, are evident in an area much disturbed by grave-plots. This was described in 1836 as 'the ruins of an old church (very small portion)' (OSL, 425); O'Rorke ([1889], vol. 2, 196) called it 'a mere heap of rubbish'. These are the remains of the parish church of Kilturra. 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).
