What is recorded here

Clochan in Eoghanacht holds two ruined stone chambers on a narrow limestone terrace beside Inis Mór, one rectangular and one oval, their roofs fallen into dark interiors. The smaller is called Clochán an Airgid, a name that suggests money, memory or mystery rather than ordinary farm use. They stand as National Monument 43, preserved not for grandeur but for the quiet continuity of human presence on that exposed western edge.

On a narrow limestone terrace c. 500m SW of the village of Eoghanacht, Inis Mór. The remains comprise two very ruined clochans: (a GA110-016----) a featureless rectangular structure (L 3.6m, Wth 2.9m ext.), the roof and much of the walls of which have collapsed into interior. It is known locally as Clochán an Airgid (pers. comm. T. Robinson); (b GA110-016001-) immediately to N is an oval structure (L 6.1m, Wth 5.1m). Some roof corbels survive intact at SW, but the interior is choked with collapsed roof and wall material. 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).
