What is recorded here

Six short limestone slabs stand on edge in Garraí an Dúidín, forming an incomplete rectangular outline on rising ground at the northern end of Inis Oírr. They are too fragmentary for a confident tomb label, leaving behind a shape rather than a room. That ambiguity suits the island: a suggestion of chamber, threshold or marker, half swallowed by grass and memory.

On an overgrown piece of rising ground, towards N end of the island. In the corner of a field known locally as Garraí an Dúidín, are a group of six limestone slabs (H 0.45m), set on edge. These appear to form a roughly rectangular structure on plan which is aligned NE-SW. Though classified as a megalithic tomb in the SMR (Gosling et al. 1987), the remains are insufficient to permit classification (info. J. Waddell). Not visited.
