What is recorded here

Just above HWM on seashore to SW of An Trá Mhór. Owing to erosion, all that survives are two rectangular grave-like hummocks (L c. 6m, Wth 1.5m, H 0.6m), aligned E-W. A number of human bones were visible in the surrounding sand. Mistakenly classified as a CBG in SMR for Co. Galway (pers. comm. T. Robinson). I - West Galway'.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA021-014
