What is recorded here

Laght is a wayside cairn in County Galway, Ireland. The ASI has not yet uploaded its information to the Historic Environment Viewer, so the stones still keep more than they reveal. A person may have set them at a road junction, marked a boundary, honoured a dead neighbour or simply answered the habit of making visible what the land already knew.

The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV). Currently the information for this record has not been uploaded. To access available information for research purposes please make an appointment in advance with the Archive Unit (open Fridays 10.00 am – 5.00 pm), Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, The Custom House, Dublin 1 D01W6XO or email NMarchive@housing.gov.ie.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
