What is recorded here

Clochan in Cill Éinne holds two buried chambers on Inis Mór, one a rectangular box of limestone flags and the other an overgrown cairn with foundation lines still visible at the west. They sit a kilometre south of the church in a small pasture field, close enough that the dead and the living may have shared the same breath of wind. The chamber is no longer a mystery, but a neighbour, waiting to be seen without fear.

In a small modern pasture field c. lkm S of Cill Éinne, Inis Mór, are the remains of two clochans: (a - GA119-015----) a rectangular area (L 8.5m, Wth 5.3m) of limestone blocks and flags. One lintel and two sidestones survive at N, possibly the remains of a passage. Immediately to NW, (b - GA119-015001-) is an overgrown cairn (L 8.2m, Wth 7.6m) in which foundation lines are visible at W.
