The National Monuments Service's description
Within a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (SL032-141003-), just slightly E of the centre. A roughly trapezoidal area (35.5m E-W; 25m N-S at E end; 20m N-S at W end) defined by the grass-covered foundations of a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 2.5-3.3m; H 0.2-0.5m). The wall along the W end is slightly curved. The W half of the interior is raised 0.6m above the E half and contains a possible church (SL032-141001-). No grave-plots or grave-markers are evident. The graveyard is not indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map.
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).
