What is recorded here

A scarped edge (H 1.2m; Wth 3.2m) extends to the NW from the shoreline for c. 20m before curving around to the NE and continuing for at least another 20m. Immediately to the E of the scarp is a roughly L-shaped area (Wth c. 12m) of uneven ground covered by scrub overgrowth; this contains the ruins of a possible church (SL040-050001-). There are no grave-markers in this area nor is there any other feature characteristic of a graveyard. There is no known record of a monastic foundation here (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 365). 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).
