What is recorded here
Some 6m NE of a church (GA029-111001-). Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map by a tiny open circle and described in OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 204) as a 'large and very ancient ash tree, at the foot of which there is an irregular circle of stones called Leabaidh Phadruig'. What is visible is a flat-topped oval mound (L 7.5m, Wth 5m, H 1.5m) defined by a modern-looking drystone revetment. (Killanin and Duignan 1967, 448)
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
