What is recorded here

On SW slope of a valley running NW from Loch Shéamaisín Uí Niaidh. It consists of a small natural spring under some hawthorn bushes. Beside it is a flat stone with many small depressions, regarded as the footprints of a child, a lamb and other animals (info. T. Robinson). Not visited. 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).

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
