What is recorded here
On S-facing slope in reclaimed pastureland. According to local information, this is the site of a 'lios' which was levelled some years ago. What is visible is a slightly raised subcircular area (E-W 31.3m, N-S 29m) in the centre of which is a small low circular mound (D 11m, H 0.5m). The surviving morphology is reminiscent of a barrow.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
