NR76SW 12 7395 6165.

(Name: NR 7400 6160) Burial Ground (NAT) (Earran Clann Imheir) (NAT)

OS 6" map, (1924)

This name derives from the bodies of the members of the clan Iver who were killed in the battle described under NR76SW 10 being buried here. Several years since the proprietor of Kilberry stopped burials at the graveyard there, the natives had, and still have to, use this one.

There is no record of its having been a burial ground beofre the McIvers were buried in it. Some years ago, when there was a high flood, part of the earth at the NE end of the burial ground was washed away, revealing a great number of skulls and bones, tending to prove that many were massacred.

Name Book 1868.

NR 7394 6164. This burial ground is still in use.

Visited by OS (I A) 2 July 1973.
