What is recorded here

Adjacent to a stream which exits from St Maine's holy well (SL040-170001-) and flows to O'Rourke's Ford (SL040-170002-). In 1836 it was recorded that 'the print of the saint's [St Maine] knees while praying are to be seen on a large stone at the stream' (OSNB vol. 1, 70). There are no visible remains of this 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). Date of upload: 18 January 2008

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.
