What is recorded here
Barrow is a small circular earthen enclosure in low-lying Galway grassland, remembered locally as a burial ground though it may have been a hut. Its hollow centre and faint southern opening suggest a place where people entered, stayed, and left behind more than stones.
In low-lying grassland. A small poorly preserved circular enclosure (D 8.15m) defined by a low earthen bank. There is a possible entrance at S and the interior is hollow. Possibly a hut site but is recognised locally as a 'burial ground'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
