What is recorded here

Some 50m E of a ringfort (GA005-091----). Locally believed to be a grave, it consists of a large rectangular boulder (L 3.3m, Wth 2.6m), its long axis running NE-SW. This is supported at S end by a smaller boulder set at right angles to it, and there is a possible sidestone (L 2.5m) on W side. A field wall overlies the monument at N. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA005-095
