Field boundary

What is recorded here

In a low-lying bog on S side of a glacial ridge. Visible in the cutaway are traces of a curving wall (L 16m) covered by a maximum of 1.2m of peat. It is built of granite and schist boulders on the mineral soil but it appears to extend on to the peat at SW end. Traces of a pre-bog earthen bank noted nearby. 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).
