The National Monuments Service's description
A rectangular graveyard (c. 38m SE-NW; 22m NE-SW) enclosed by a stone wall. Access is through a piered entrance in the W wall; these may be the 'pair of pillars' erected here in 1820 (Timoney and Timoney 2000). The ruin of the medieval parish church of Kilmorgan (SL034-081001-) occupies the NE corner. Headstones date from the 18th to the 20th centuries and there are also a number of collapsed chest-tombs and three vaults including a large 19th-century mausoleum of the MacDonagh family.
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).
