What is recorded here

Clochan in Eochaill is a collapsed circular cairn on cleared pasture in County Galway, preserving a small rubble-filled chamber inside a broad ring of fallen stone. Kinahan recorded the site in 1869, and the visible chamber measures barely three metres across, suggesting people once built a tight enclosed space before the land and centuries buried its edges. The name Clochan hints at a small hollow or house, while the broken stone circle still marks the effort of hands that shaped the earth long before the pasture appeared.

Part of Baile na mBocht (GA110-162----); on cleared level pasture. A circular cairn of collapsed stone (L 13.5m, Wth 13.3m) with external stone revetting visible at SE. The rubble-filled remains of chamber are visible in interior (L 3.1m, Wth 2.8m).
