What is recorded here

Close to cliff edge to N of the oratory (GA021-026014-). Described by Macalister (1896a, 204) as 'a two-chambered building: the southern chamber 19 feet by 12 feet (5.8m by 3.65m); the northern 21 feet by 6 feet (6.4m by 1.85m)'. All that remains today is the foundations of an apparently D-shaped structure (E-W 9m; N-S 8.5m) defined by double-faced wall (Wth 1m), from which faint traces of walls run S (GA021-031----) to the ecclesiastical enclosure (GA021-026022-). No trace of the other 'square building', previously noted by Kinahan to SW (ibid.), survives. (Herity 1977, 58) 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).
