Clochan in Eochaill (bar. Árainn)

Clochan

What is recorded here

Clochan in Eochaill (bar. Árainn) is a ruined stone chamber on level ground in County Galway, Ireland. Kinahan recorded it as a clochan in 1869, but Robinson found a roughly circular cairn ten metres long with a modern sheep shelter inside its rubble. The ancient wall may have kept out rain or marked a boundary for people long forgotten, while the new shelter serves the living herd.
On level ground to SW of Clochán an Phúca (GA110-103----). Described by Kinahan (1869d, 27-8, no. 25) as a ruined clochan, it now consists of a roughly circular stone cairn (N-S 10m, E-W 9.8m) with a rubble-filled interior containing a modern lintelled sheep shelter. (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).
