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.
There they 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.
- 1000 Years of Irish poetry, Kathleen Hoagland New York, 1947, pp. 6–8. ISBN 1-56852-235-5.
