What is recorded here
In 1836 the 'Ruins of a Nunnery and a burying ground' were recorded in Montiagh (OSNB vol. 1, 34). No visible remains of a 'nunnery' are evident in the only graveyard (SL0042-004001-) in this townland. No such foundation is listed by Gwynn and Hadcock (1970).
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).
