What is recorded here

Clochan in Eochaill is a grassed stone ring on level ground in County Galway, possibly holding two chambers joined beneath the turf. Kinahan called it a ruined cloghaun in 1869, but the collapsed eastern and western blocks still mark the shape of what was hidden. It is not a grand chamber, yet it is the kind of place where people set stones with purpose and left the meaning to rain, grass and time.

Part of Baile na mBocht (GA110-162----); on level ground. Described by Kinahan (1869d, 26, no. 4) as the 'ruin of a cloghaun', the remains now comprise a low circular grassed-over cairn of stone (D 12.8m) with oval and circular concentrations of collapsed blocks at E and W: possibly the remains of two conjoined chambers. (Kinahan 1869d, 26, no. 4) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.
