In the SW quadrant of Toomour graveyard (SL040-140004-). One of three cross-inscribed slabs (SL040-140005-; SL040-140009-) associated with the leacht cuimhne (SL040-140003-). A cross-inscribed slab (H 0.66m; Wth 0.28m; T 0.1m), which was incorporated into the W face of the leacht cuimhne, has been removed as it cracked when the leacht collapsed prior to 1889 and is now in temporary storage locally (see SL039-163----) having been repaired (pers. comm. M. A. Timoney). The top right-hand corner of the stone had been broken off in antiquity. A single continuous line (Wth 2cm; D 0.8cm) forms the outline of a Latin cross which occupies the top two thirds of the stone and extends onto the top and right and left sides of the stone. Below the base of the cross are two further lines, that on the right hand side is straight and that on the left side forms a U shape.
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).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
