What is recorded here

In undulating pastureland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 60m) with a central mound is shown. On inspection a well-preserved circular earthwork (diam. c. 10m) comprising a low platform of earth and stone with a small circular raised area (diam. c. 2m) at its centre was visible; possibly a mound barrow. A series of hollows and trenches surrounding the monument appeared to be modern. Quarrying had occurred on its S side. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 25 July 2019

Stepped barrow; likely dates to the Early Bronze Age. Its stepped construction is a distinctive regional variant of passage tomb architecture in Ireland, reflecting early funerary and ritual practices.
