The National Monuments Service's description
A rectangular graveyard (c. 65m SW-NE; c. 45m SE-NW), including a recent extension, enclosed by a stone wall. Inscribed headstones date from the 18th to the 20th centuries. The site of a church (SL041-038001-), probably the medieval parish church of Kilmactrany, lies just N of the early 19th-century C of I church. A 17th-century stone cross (SL041-038007-) last seen on top of the McConmee vault in 1995 cannot be found (pers. comm. M. B. Timoney). There is a wayside cross (SL041-03803-) in the field to the N. The site of a mound (SL041-038004-) and a standing stone (SL041-038005-) are c. 50m to SE.
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).
