The National Monuments Service's description
An irregularly shaped graveyard (c. 60m N-S; c. 60m E-W) which slopes down steeply to the S except for a terrace near the centre which contains the ruin of Cloonameehan priory (SL039-002001-), a Dominican foundation. The graveyard is still in use. It contains many 19th- and 20th-century headstones and some low uninscribed grave-markers. The earliest inscriptions on the grave memorials are from the early 19th century (M. B. Timoney 1993, 10).
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).
