If you walk North from the Abbey towards the Duchess Cross,on the right just before the Cross a few hundred metres towards the sea is this Cairn. It has been partly destroyed but fits in with the ambience of the area. Who or what was buried here I don't know, but the outlook is beautiful. One of the joys of being here in May is the weather, 22-23 degrees, amazing.

Cladh an Diseirt means " The burial Ground of the Hermits" I would like to think this predates the Columbans and may have been a Druids Burial.
