This place is called Cladh Kirkapoll on OS Digimap. The alternative name, Cladh Odhrain is given by a local Tiree website about place-names, http://www.tireeplacenames.org/, accessed 7 November 2011. There are a pair of West Highland slabs in the cemetery, and part of a free-standing cross. Another cross, formerly here, is now at Inveraray Castle. W.
