What is recorded here

On marshy ground immediately N of a small stream which marks the td. and P. boundaries. An unroofed small rectangular concrete chamber, with a gate at S, contains a spring well 1.2m deep. No votive offerings were noted and the well is not marked on the 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map. Circa 100m to SE is an anomalous stone group (GA060-105----), known locally as a penal mass rock. Both monuments may be associated. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
