What is recorded here

Clochan Choillte Choinin stands roofless at the western edge of a shallow depression in County Galway, its southern wall erased and interior choked with rubble. The surviving eastern wall still holds a lintelled opening, framing a view into the depression rather than a room. Anyone entering now must step through broken stone and imagine the heat, breath and voice that once filled the space before the roof fell.

At W edge of a shallow depression 40m SE of an enclosure (GA110-100001-). This clochan, correctly Clochán Choillte Choinín (pers. comm. T. Robinson), consists of a collapsed roofless rectangular building (L 6m, Wth 4.5m) with S wall completely destroyed. There is a lintelled ope in E wall, and the interior is rubble-filled (Kinahan 1869d, 28, no. 31). 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).
