What is recorded here

Just above the flood plain to S of the Clare River. This monument consists of a large grass-covered oval cairn (NE-SW 34m, NW-SE 21m, H 8m) with very steep sides and a level area on top. Quarrying at NE reveals a matrix of large and small boulders and gravel, suggesting that it may be partly natural. 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
