What is recorded here

Eoghanacht: An Eoghanacht structure in County Galway. A rectangular drystone structure, 1.4m long, 0.9m wide, 0.6m high. Three lintels across the top. Entrance at the south. It stands southeast of a castle. The drystone walls are small enough to touch on both sides at once. The lintels span like a roof for a knee-high room. The south opening faces the land rather than a road. The structure is a National Monument. It is no longer a private loss. The stone room waits beside a castle, small and exact, keeping a shape the land has not forgotten.
