What is recorded here

Indicated holds two ruined clochans on a narrow limestone terrace near Eoghanacht, Inis Mór. One is a small rectangular chamber called Clochán an Airgid, its roof fallen inward like a chamber swallowing its own light. The other is an oval shelter with surviving corbels, still holding the shape of a roof that time has forgotten. They are not grand, but they are exact: small rooms built by human hands, then abandoned to stone, rain and silence.

On a narrow limestone terrace c. 500m SW of the village of Eoghanacht, Inis Mór. The remains comprise two very ruined clochans: (a GA110-016----) a featureless rectangular structure (L 3.6m, Wth 2.9m ext.), the roof and much of the walls of which have collapsed into interior. It is known locally as Clochán an Airgid (pers. comm. T. Robinson); (b GA110-016001-) immediately to N is an oval structure (L 6.1m, Wth 5.1m). Some roof corbels survive intact at SW, but the interior is choked with collapsed roof and wall material.
