What is recorded here

On a rise in otherwise low-lying grassland. Marked on 1st and 3rd (1920) eds. of OS 6-inch maps as an irregularly shaped cairn (NW-SE c. 20m, NE-SW c. 10m). Due to extensive field clearance in the area, all that survives is a slight circular rise (D c. 23m) defined by a degraded scarp. A similar monument (GA056-087----) lies c. 240m to SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
