Structure in Cloonmorris

Structure

What is recorded here

Cloonmorris holds a small stony chamber beside a possible rath, its grassed bank preserving a narrow gap and a lintel-like stone. The structure may have housed a person or an animal, but time has erased the distinction. What remains is a room without a roof, waiting for someone to remember whether it held breath or bones.
Immediately NW of a possible rath (GA123-039----). This overgrown structure (2.2m NE-SW; 1.8m NW-SE) is defined by grassed-over stony bank (Wth 0.8m; base Wth 2.25m; int. H 0.38m; ext. H 0.31m). There is a gap (Wth 1.25m) at S and a large lintel-like stone at SW. Possibly a hut site or an animal pen. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 21 February 2019
