Clochan in Eochaill (bar. Árainn)

Part of Baile na mBocht (GA110-162----); on a slight rise. A crescentic mound of grassed-over stone (L 15.5m, Wth 12m ext.). Described by Kinahan (1869d, 26, no. 8) as 'A group of three mounds, similar to GA022-008---- [i.e. GA110-115----]', Some 3m to E is a second mound (L 10.2m, Wth 7.9m) overlain by a field wall. Both may once have formed a conjoined clochan. Another mound a short distance to SW may represent the remains of the third mound mentioned by Kinahan. (Robinson 1980) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
