What is recorded here

On E slope of a hillock overlooking Lough Mask to N. This CBG, correctly Cnocán na bPáistí, consists of a subcircular area (E-W c. 15m, N-S c. 12m), much overgrown, but possibly once defined by a stone revetment, traces of which are visible at NE. Within this are numerous small uprights arranged in rows, indicating graves oriented E-W. 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).
