Slab-lined burial in Dubhoileán Mór

Located immediately to S of a church (MA033A003004-), in the SE quadrant of a cashel (MA033A003001-), on Duvillaun More Island. Henry (1937, 272) recorded this as ‘a long rectangular grave which local tradition calls ‘the Tomb of the Saint.’ It consists of a rectangular area (2.35m E-W; 1.05m N-S) defined by a number of thin upright slabs (L 0.5-0.93m; H 0.2-0.25), set on edge. The long N and S sides are gapped, with only a single long slab (L 0.85m on S side, 0.93m on N side) in situ on each side. Most of the slabs barely protrude above the sod. A cross slab (MA033A003002-) stands at the W end. Attached image: MA033A003003-_01 Low slabs outline the grave at foot of cross-slab (MA003A003002-). Viewed from E.
