What is recorded here

Cloghan is a rectangular clochan in County Galway, Ireland, measuring 5.6m long and 2.2m wide, with opposing doorways in its north and south walls. Its north, east and west walls hold one window each while the south wall has two, and its fine corbelled roof stands partly reconstructed. The chamber sits in a field about 40m from another clochan, small enough to enter quickly but detailed enough to suggest careful making rather than casual dumping.
