What is recorded here
In sand-dunes close to seashore in NE part of island. Known locally as An Poirín Buí, it consisted of a small circular enclosure (D c. 10m), half-buried in sand and defined by a drystone wall. Used locally as a marker for the boundary between the subdivisions of Baile an Chasleáin and Baile Fhormina. Possibly equatable with (GA120-007006-), but now obliterated by the airstrip (info. T. Robinson).
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).
