Place & story
Conservation watched by an archaeologist
Archaeologist Eoin Halpin recorded repairs to the Owen O’Conor mausoleum in Ballintober Old Graveyard between September 2023 and May 2024, with work paused during winter. Roscommon County Council had commissioned a conservation report from Michael O’Boyle because the monument’s fabric was deteriorating. The lower wall courses and both gables proved sound, allowing repairs to proceed without ground disturbance. Halpin’s role therefore remained one of archaeological monitoring, with no excavation required. His account documents how the monument was conserved while retaining its underlying structure. [2]
