What is recorded here

Cloonteen in Dunmore, County Galway, is a children's burial ground hidden inside a ring-barrow. The north half of the barrow has been levelled, erasing the visible trace of the graves and leaving only the story behind.
Associated with a ring-barrow (GA028-015----). According to local information, there was formerly a CBG in N half of the barrow. As this section of the monument has been levelled, no visible surface trace survives. 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). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
