Close to seashore c. 300m E of Cill Rónáin, Inis Mór. Known locally as the graves of drowned Frenchmen who were washed ashore, and from whom the adjacent beach is named Trá na bhFrancach (Robinson 1980). It consists of a rectangular area (L 4.2, Wth 3.4m), aligned NW-SE, defined on NW and NE by a low concrete kerb and on SE by a modern field wall. The interior is scattered with loose stones.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
