What is recorded here
Aill na bPáistí marks a children's burial ground on a small coastal promontory within Cuan Chamais. The rocky knoll still holds visible set stones, waiting for human eyes to recognise the shape of grief hidden inside the sea cliff.
On a small coastal promontory on inner reaches of Cuan Chamais. Known locally as Aill na bPáistí, it consists of a small rocky knoll on which small set stones are visible (info. T. Robinson). Not visited. (Robinson 1985, 46)
