What is recorded here

Some 10m to N of it, a crudely constructed stone wall protrudes from the sand. 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). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
