What is recorded here

At W foot of Diamond Hill and within Connemara National Park. This tomb is very ruined and lacks a court. The remains consist of a gallery (L c. 5.5m) aligned N-S, divided into two chambers by a pair of transversely set jambs. There has been some interference with the structure at S end of the monument, and the stones here seem to represent the last vestiges of an old field wall. (Gibbons and Higgins 1988d, 65) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.
