Anomalous stone group in Eochaill (bar. Árainn)

Part of Baile na mBocht (GA110-162----); on level ground. Described by Kinahan (1869d, 26, no. 7) as a 'Fosleac, or rectangular chamber, built of six large flags placed on edge'. What survives today is a roughly subrectangular cist-like structure (L 2.1m, Wth 1.5m, H 0.7m), aligned WNW-ESE, and delimited by four set slabs with two others now displaced. (Robinson 1980) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
