What is recorded here

The W end of this causeway terminates at the pier only 100m E of the Augustinian abbey (GA069-001013-). It traverses an area of marshy grassland along the lakeshore and is traceable for 240m. From E side of the pier, the causeway follows an ENE axis for 90m before turning slightly S to run ESE for a further 150m. It may well turn S towards Annanghdown Castle (GA069-002----) after this but its line is difficult of trace due to overgrowth and spoil heaps. It consists of two parallel lines of large limestone boulders set on edge (Wth 2-2.3m), though no trace of internal fill is visible. II - North Galway'.
