What is recorded here
Clochan in Eochaill is a featureless stone cairn ten metres long and eight and a half metres wide on level ground in County Galway. Kinahan called it the ruin of a circular cloghaun in 1869, but the shape has vanished beneath centuries of weather and forgetting. The stones still hold the footprint of a room that no longer remembers its own walls.
Part of Baile na mBocht (GA110-162----); on level ground just N of another clochan (GA110-128001-). Described by Kinahan (1869d, 26, no. 12) as the 'Ruin of a circular Cloghaun'. What survives today is a featureless stone cairn (L 10m, Wth 8.5m). (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).
