- MA024-018001 Cross-slab
Description
On the SW shoreline of Aghleam Bay, at the site of a graveyard (MA024-018002-). On the 1838 OS 6-inch map the cross-slab is indicated in the SW corner of the graveyard, and is named named ‘Leaght Mc. Maheen’. On the later 1921 edition it is indicated as ‘Tombstone (on Site of) Kilbeg Grave Yd.’ It is recorded in the 1838 OS Letters (O’Flanagan 1927, 257 (134)) as follows: 'a stone with a cross cut in it called Leacht Mic Maithin Iorrais, i.e. the Monument of McMaheen of Erros, whose house [MA024-017----] was said to be the most westerly in Connaght in his time.' Henry (1937, 270-271) described it as a ‘slab 16 inches [0.4m] wide at the top, 2 inches [0.05m] thick, with two crosses carved on its W. side. It was half buried, and when dug out of the ground, the carved portion proved to be 30 inches [0.76m] high.’ The accompanying photograph shows two cross-in-circles, one directly above the other, with the upper one beginning a few centimeters below the top edge of the stone. Both extend circles extend the full width of the stone. The upper circle encloses an equal armed cross, with gently expanded terminals; the lower circle encloses a cross of arcs. An inspection in 1995 found that the slab has been broken into three pieces, one of which has been removed. The carving is degraded, and only very faint traces of the lower cross can now be seen.

- MA024-018002 Graveyard
Description
On the SW shoreline of Aghleam Bay, on the Mullet Peninsula. This graveyard is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as 'Kilbeg Grave Yard'. It is shown as a rectangular area (c. 35m N−S; c. 30m E−W), bordered at E and W by walls, at N by the shoreline, and at S by an E−W road. A cross-slab (MA024-081001-), named ‘Leaght Mc. Maheen’, is indicated in the SW corner. It is described in the OS Letters 1838 (O’Flanagan, 327 (170)) as follows: ‘On the brink of the strand of Feorin in the Townland of Tearmainn is still traceable the site of an old graveyard called Cill beg’. By the time of the 1921 OS 6-inch edition, the graveyard appears to have gone out of use and is indicated as ‘Site of’. There are no visible traces of the graveyard, although the cross-slab is still at this location. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 November 2017
- MA024-018003 Church
Description
The placename ‘Kilbeg’ suggests that there was a church associated with a graveyard (MA024-018002-), which is named ‘Kilbeg Graveyard’ on the 1838 and 1921 OS 6-inch maps. No trace of the church or graveyard is now evident, but there is a cross-slab (MA024-018001-) at the location. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 November 2017
