What is recorded here

Clochan in Eochaill is a conjoined ruin of two collapsed stone cairns in a shallow Galway valley, preserving the buried shape of a three-chambered clay-faced structure drawn by Kinahan in 1869. The circular mound offers no visible chamber, but the adjoining oval still reveals faint wall lines, suggesting a passage that once led into darkness. It belongs to Baile na mBocht, where the land itself seems to have swallowed the building and left only its shadow in stone.

Part of Baile na mBocht (GA110-162----); in a shallow valley. Kinahan's plan (1869d, 27, no. 16) shows a three-chambered structure faced externally with clay. What survives today is the conjoined ruins of two collapsed cairns of stone, one circular (D c. 11m ext.) adjoined on SW by an oval mound (L 12.5m, Wth 7.8m). While the former is featureless, the later contains the wall lines of a passage or chamber.
