What is recorded here

On the summit at S end of the promontory c. 250m SSW of GA023-029----. Aligned NNW-SSE and 2.6m apart. Both stones (GA023-030----) are of granite. The N stone is squat and subcircular in plan (H 0.5m); S stone is taller and oblong in plan (H 1.5m). No visible trace survives of the small 'enclosure' (GA023-030001-) noted by Redington (1914, 238-9) on E side of S stone. 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).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
