What is recorded here

In the northern of the two portions which make up Ballinafad Lough. Kinahan (1872, 12) recorded that 'when the water is low, a circle of stones, with a small island near its centre, is visible' and considered it to be the remains of 'some artificial structure, probably either a crannog or lake stone-dwelling'. Nothing visible at time of visit. 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). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
