What is recorded here

At E end of Loch Beitheach Cháinín close to shore. A roughly circular island with a natural rock foundation (D c. 30m) upon which is a steep-sided, flat-topped peaty mound (D c. 14m; H 4m). Now very overgrown, but faint traces of a revetment to the mound suggest that it may be artificial. Possible quay at N. 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).
