What is recorded here

In the SW quadrant of a cashel (SL041-007002-). A rectangular structure (int. 6.06m E-W; 3.8m N-S) defined by sod-covered walls (Wth 1.2m; max. H 0.75m) of large limestone blocks with a rubble core. There is a doorway near the W end of the S wall. Though marked as 'Friary' on the 1838 and 1914 OS 6-inch maps there is no known record of such a foundation (see Gwynn and Hadcock 1970). A possible burial ground (SL041-008----) lies c. 80m to the NE. 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).
