What is recorded here

On shoreline just S of the head of a large inlet on E side of the island. Known locally as Tobar Muire, it consists of a water-filled hollow in an overgrown marshy corner immediately S of a field wall. No traces of offerings are visible: it is not frequented nowadays. Not visited. (Robinson 1985, 17) 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

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.
