What is recorded here

In low-lying flat country-side. According to local information, this CBG was situated on a low artificially raised mound (NW-SE c. 10m, NE-SW c. 7.5m) and contained small set moss-covered grave-markers. No burials took place within the past 100 years. It was cleared away about five years ago during the construction of a house. No visible surface trace survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
