What is recorded here

On a low, exposed headland on W side of Cashel Bay. The monument consists of a rectangular chamber (L c. 1.7m, Wth c. 0.6m, H 0.3m), aligned E-W, the N wall of which is composed of a natural rock shelf. The chamber is open at both ends and is roofed by a single capstone, partly cracked. Possibly a cist (Gibbons and Higgins 1988d, 64) but the remains are insufficient to allow for a definite classification. (Robinson 1985, 13) 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).
