Arranged roughly at the points of a triangle, just to the west of a church's western gable, they were labelled simply as "Monuments". No surface traces survive today, and whatever stood there has either been swallowed by the ground or was always too modest to leave a lasting impression.

What those three points represented is genuinely uncertain. The most plausible suggestion is that they were leachts or wayside cairns, small stone memorials associated with prayer and devotion that were commonly erected near early Irish churches. A leacht, in this context, is typically a low, flat-topped cairn or slab structure at which people would stop to pray, often on pilgrimage routes or in the immediate vicinity of a sacred site. Their triangular arrangement relative to the church's gable is suggestive of an intentional, ritual layout, though without physical remains that connection remains speculative. By the time of the island's evacuation in 1960, when its last inhabitants were resettled on the mainland, whatever these features once were had already vanished from sight.
