What is recorded here

Clochan in Eochaill is a small collapsed stone circle at the southwest edge of Inis Mór, where rough grazing still covers its low walls. It measures barely seven metres across and rises no higher than a knee, yet it keeps the shape of a room built before written memory. The AranLIFE Farming Project brought it back into notice between 2014 and 2018, when people walking that remote ground recognised a made place rather than a heap of stones. Faint openings face east and west, as if the chamber still expects visitors to pass through.

This possible clochan (7m N-S; 6.3m E-W; H 0.4-1.2m) came to light during the course of fieldwork on the AranLIFE Farming Project (2014-2018) (see www.aranlife.ie). It is located at the SW end of the island in an area of rough grazing. It is defined by a low subcircular overgrown cairn of collapsed stones. Traces of possible openings are evident at E and W.
