What is recorded here

On level ground 200m SE of Dún Beag (GA110-066----), Inis Mór. A poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (N-S 26.5m; E-W 24.5m), defined by the intermittent remains of a grassed-over bank of stone which is overlain from SE to NNE by modern field walls. The interior contains a possible collapsed clochan (GA110-100001-), a low circular grassy mound of stone (D 7.4m) with a hollow in centre. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Updated by: Olive Alcock Date of revised upload: 9 February 2016
