On top of a leacht cuimhne (SL040-140003-) within the SW quadrant of Toomour graveyard (SL040-140004-). Arranged in a row along the top of the E facade of the leacht cuimhne are eleven water-rolled stones (max. dim. 0.25m). Wood-Martin (1892, 366) noted seventeen of these stones and recorded that they were known locally as the 'dicket stones'. Also on top of the leacht is a sandstone block (0.3m x 0.19m; T 0.18m) with a small circular perforation (diam. 0.1m) close to one edge. The perforation has an hour-glass cross section through the thickness of the stone.
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).
