What is recorded here

During construction work in 1975, a number of human bones were discovered 30m NW of ringfort (GA018-063----). They were found at a depth of 0.4m and reputedly rested on or in a shallow pit in the underlying boulder clay (Topgr. Files, UCG). Possibly the remains of a crouched burial in an unlined pit. 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
