What is recorded here

Kilcurrivard in County Galway is a lost burial place, but the facts are thin and the story should stay small. What is known is that the site exists in that area; how large it was, when it was used, and what it contained are not clear. End of data.

In gently undulating tillage. During reclamation work, the landowner came upon a structure which he described as two flags set on edge and capped by a third (E-W; L c. 0.8m, Wth 0.5m); there were no stones at E and W ends. The site was subsequently bulldozed. Possibly a cist. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

A small Neolithic or early Bronze Age burial monument, possibly a simple cist or kerbless stone cairn; its significance lies in its basic construction and potential for providing insights into early funerary practices in the region.
