Barrow, unclassified

What is recorded here

On a rise in reclaimed pastureland. Poorly preserved circular earthwork (D 7.5m, H 0.5m) defined by a bank and external fosse, the latter being visible only at S. The interior is slightly hollow, and it and a possible gap (Wth 2m) at W are much obscured by field-clearance rubble. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
A Neolithic barrow, likely dating to the Early to Middle Bronze Age, representing a funerary monument of potential local significance, though its wider archaeological context remains unclear.

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