Summary edit
| Description |
English: Gravestones Overlooking Traigh Fleisgein Bheag. The left hand one is inscribed "DEC AD 1818". It was a fairly common belief throughout Britain that drowned sailors should not be buried in the local churchyard otherwise the sea might come and take them back. So it was custom to bury them on the shore where they were found. |
