Scotia's Grave or Scota's Grave{{cite web |title=Scota's Grave |url=http://www.logainm.ie/en/1415138 |website=Placenames Database of Ireland |access-date=4 January 2023}} is a rock feature south of Tralee in County Kerry, Ireland. It is beside a stream called the Finglas (Fionnghlas - 'clear stream'), in a wooded glen called Gleann Scoithín, anglicized 'Glenscoheen' or 'Glanaskagheen'.{{cite web |title=Gleann Scoithín |url=http://www.logainm.ie/en/1414581 |website=Placenames Database of Ireland |access-date=4 January 2023}} According to Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn (17th century), it is the burial place of Scota, an ancient queen of the Milesians (Gaels) who died there in battle with the Tuatha Dé Danann.{{cite book |author=Geoffrey Keating |author-link=Geoffrey Keating |translator=John O'Mahony |title=The History of Ireland, From the Earliest Period to the English Invasion |publisher=James B. Kirker |location=New York |date=1866 |page=[https://archive.org/details/forasfeasaareiri00keat_0/page/202 202] |url=https://archive.org/details/forasfeasaareiri00keat_0}} John O'Mahony translated Gleann Scoithín as "vale of the little flower" and said it is the Irish equivalent of the female name Flora. According to the National Monuments Service, "Following a site inspection in 1999 it was concluded that the evidence was not sufficient to warrant accepting this as an archaeological monument".{{cite web |title=Historical Environment Viewer |url=https://maps.archaeology.ie/HistoricEnvironment/ |website=National Monuments Service |access-date=4 January 2023}}
