 KILTURRA GRAVEYARD
The graveyard was a small, and little used in the late 19th century. The oldest epitaph in the place was inscribed on a headstone erected, in 1771, by Doctor Thomas IRWIN, over his father, who died in 1761.
Erected by Rev. Patrick HENRY Sep. 9, 1806 (no further information given).
Visitors to graveyards should not clean gravestones. The best time to view headstones is at low light, early or late in the day and during winter when growth of weeds is restricted. A full record of gravestone inscriptions can be viewed in the Sligo County Library. In addition the desired information can be purchased from the Sligo Heritage & Genealogical Centre (online).
