What is recorded here

Some 35m SW of a stone row (GA010-008----). Three irregular boulders (Hs 0.35m, 0.65m, 0.6m), embedded in the peat and all listing markedly, appear to form an arc or chamber (N-S 2.25m). Killanin (1954, 98-9), followed by Gibbons and Higgins (1988a, 58), has suggested that this is the remains of a megalithic tomb but the remains are insufficient to permit classification. 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).
