What is recorded here

Cairn is a low circular flat-topped mound of small stones on a prominent rise in County Galway grassland, crowned with mature trees. It may be a natural landscape feature or a made marker, but the trees and shape suggest humans shaped the view long ago. The mound still stands out because it is different from the surrounding field.

On a prominent rise in rolling grassland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a small circular enclosure (D c. 20m). What is visible is a low circular flat-topped cairn of small stones (D 8m, H 0.8m max.). The summit is crowned with a number of mature trees. Possibly a landscape feature or a landscaped cairn. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
