In a slight hollow between road and seashore at E end of An Trá Mhór, Inis Mór. All that is visible are a few uninscribed set stones in the hollow which is eroding on to the foreshore. Known locally as Poll na Marbh (Robinson 1980), and reputed to be the burial place of O'Briens slaughtered by O'Flahertys. Skeletons are reported to have been uncovered there in recent times (pers. comm. T. Robinson). There is also another burial (GA119-019---- ) c. 50m to WSW.
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).
