What is recorded here

In undulating grassland immediately W of a modern house. A well-preserved circular mound of earth and stone (D 25.8m, max. H 2.4m at S). The centre is dished and there is an 'entrance-like' gap (Wth 1.5m) at E, giving the monument a barrow-like appearance. However, these features may in part be the result of quarrying. 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
