What is recorded here
Grave is a buried place on a wooded hill above Lough Corrib, remembered only in its name. It stands on the western edge of the lake, close enough to the summit for the land to lean toward the water. The absence of a visible mark does not diminish it; it suggests the hill itself has become the grave, holding what the surface no longer displays.
Close to summit of a wooded hill, on a promontory on W side of Lough Corrib. Named but not indicated on 2nd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1899). No visible surface trace was found.
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).
