What is recorded here
Clochan in Eoghanacht is a low, irregular cairn of loose stone on flat elevated ground near Eoghanacht, Inis Mór. It measures nearly nineteen metres across but rises only half a metre, partly grassed over and pitted with hollows from robbing. A later rectangular structure of limestone blocks sits on its north-west side. The place still holds the shape of human attention, even though much of its substance has been taken.
