Somewhere in this townland in County Mayo lies a recorded burial ground, marked on the archaeological record but largely silent beyond that bare designation. The name itself may simply describe the shape of a hill or headland, as such topographical references are common in Irish placenames, but set against the presence of a burial site, it carries an atmosphere that is difficult to entirely dismiss.

Beyond its classification as a burial ground site and its location in An Cloigeann, the documentary record currently offers little else. What can be said is that Mayo contains a remarkable density of ancient and early medieval burial places, ranging from prehistoric cist graves, where a body was interred in a stone-lined box set into the earth, to early Christian cillini, which were unconsecrated burial grounds typically used for unbaptised infants and others excluded from formal churchyards. Which tradition this particular site belongs to, and what physical traces remain on the ground, are questions the available record does not yet answer.
