The Dead at Clonmacnoise is a 14th-century poem by Aongus Ó Giolláin. It commemorates the many royal kings and princes of Ireland that were buried there.

Excerpt (translation)

  • There theyt laid to rest the seven Kings of Tara
  • there the sons of Coirpre sleep -
  • battle-banners of the Gael, that in Kieran's plain of crosses
  • now their final hosting keep.
