What is recorded here

On a ridge in undulating pastureland: a stream flows by to N. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1932) as a circular mound (D c. 15m) flanked at N by a scarp line. What is visible is a small circular grassed-over mound of earth and stone (D 8m, H c. 1m) in fair condition. The scarp line shown on the map probably marks the line of an earthen field boundary which runs along N slope of the ridge. Possibly a small tumulus. 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
