Situated on top of a low, but prominent, heather-clad hill, affording panoramic views in all directions. This burial ground consists of a rectangular area (22.9m N-S; 20.85m E-W) enclosed by a relatively modern stone wall. The interior ground level is uneven. According to local information, it was used as a burial place of unbaptized babies and of drowned sailors who were washed up on the island. No headstones are visible. There is a dense growth of ferns in the interior. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 18 October 2018
- MA043-018: Midden, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA043-018----. Located on the NW side of a narrow inlet, named Clúideog, on the SE side of Inishbiggle Island. This midden was discovered in September 2018 (Pers. comm. Moira Heery and Michael Heery). It is exposed in section in the partly eroded face of a low, shoreline cliff, at a height of c. 0.3m below land surface and c. 1m above the stony shore. It is evident as a dense layer (D 0.2-0.3m) of shells, including cockles, limpets, mussels, and periwinkles. The section face is partly concealed by vegetation, but the midden layer can be traced for a length of c. 2m. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughessy Date of upload: 28 November 2018

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

## Homes sold (Residential Property Price Register)

No address of the register names Inishbiggle with five sales or more. The sales of the area are on the page of Co. Mayo: https://everytownland.com/mayo.md

## Neighbouring townlands (National Statutory Boundaries, Tailte Éireann)

No townland with a page touches it.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
