On top of an 'altar' or penitential station (SL046-026002-), within the W half of Annagh graveyard (SL046-026001-). The upper surface of the altar is covered with a loose jumble of stones, mostly irregular but including several water-rolled cobbles. These cobbles are known locally as 'praying stones' (pers. comm. M. A. Timoney) and are similar to the 'Clocha Breacha' (Cursing stones) on Inishmurray island, county Sligo (see Harbison 1991, fig. 37).
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).
