What is recorded here
Clochan in Cill Éinne holds two stone chambers beside a modern pasture, one with a surviving lintel and the other buried under an overgrown cairn. They are not a clean pair or a finished story. The stones still mark a place where people worked, remembered, and left behind what they could not carry.
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. (Robinson 1980)
