What is recorded here

Clochan in Com Dhíneol Theas is a burial ground on the lower western slopes of Beennacouma, overlooking Coumeenoole strand. A semi-circular curve in the north-south field wall skirting its west side may mark the lost clochaun, while the wider ground still holds the purpose of Calluragh. People may have placed the dead where the land leans toward water, trusting the view to carry them forward.
