What is recorded here
Five contiguous slabs rise thirty centimetres above the grass in Streamstown or Barratrough, curving around a buried mound like a broken sentence waiting for its final word. They sit north of a known megalithic tomb, yet resist classification because so little remains visible. The stones may mark a lost chamber, a forgotten circle, or merely human hands arranging rock before memory faded.
A short distance N of a megalithic tomb (GA022-069001-). An arc of five contiguous slabs (H 0.3m max.) set on edge. Within the area defined by them is a small grassed-over stone mound. Possibly a remnant of a megalithic tomb, or a stone circle, but the remains are insufficient to permit classification.
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).
