What is recorded here
Graves is a buried place at the eastern edge of Aughrusbeg Lough, where a small stream still runs north of the spot. It may have held a person, a family, or a forgotten local line, but no stone or mark remains for them to point at. The lough keeps the shape of the loss instead of displaying it.
To N of a small stream at extreme E end of Aughrusbeg Lough. Indicated on OS 6-inch maps as a small unenclosed circular area (D c. 8m). No visible surface trace survives.
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).
