What is recorded here

Cairn is a low, grassed mound on level ground at the western edge of a Galway field system, quarried at its north-west and paired with a smaller D-shaped stone pile to the east. A natural spring lies immediately beside it, suggesting the site may have marked water, memory or boundary long before the field walls closed around it. The smaller mound remains unexplained, possibly a child heap, a failed attempt or a marker for someone the larger cairn forgot.

On level ground at W edge of a field system (GA084-040002-). A low subcircular grassed-over cairn (23m N-S; 20m E-W; H c. 1m) irregular in outline and quarried out at NW. Close by, to E, is a small D-shaped grassed-over cairn (3m E-W; 1m N-S; H 0.4m); its significance and relationship, if any, to the larger cairn is unclear. A natural spring well lies immediately to W. Compiled by: Galway Archaeology Survey, UCG Date of upload: 1 March 2017

A low subcircular cairn, likely dating to the Bronze Age, possibly associated with funerary or ritual practices; its location and form suggest a regional megalithic tradition, though its wider significance remains unclear.
