What is recorded here
Inchcleraun still holds a buried vault beneath its grass, marked only by low wall-footings that trace a forgotten chamber. The 1837 map named it without apology, drawing a line around what the land had already swallowed. Whoever laid those stones believed death needed a room, not a hole, and the room outlived the hands that built it.
A 'Vault' is depicted on the 1837 edition of the OSi 6-inch map in the ENE sector of the monastic enclosure (LF021-048----) at Inchcleraun, and may be the remains of a burial vault of uncertain antiquity. The outline of this vault is visible today as low grass-covered wall-footings.
