What is recorded here

In undulating farmland. The OS 6-inch maps show a large subcircular field (c. 100m by c. 90m) on S boundary of the td., the NW quadrant of which is occupied by farm buildings. Little of it now survives and the remaining sections comprise only slightly curving modern boundaries. According to local information, there was a 'mound' in the centre of this field which when levelled was found to contain 'six pillars', possibly marking a 'grave'. No visible surface trace survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
