What is recorded here

In an overgrown graveyard adjacent to a church (GA071-076001-). Marked on OS 6-inch maps as 'Wooden Cross'. Of it, the OS letters (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 288) record the tradition that 'there was a market held [here], the cross of which still remains'. No visible surface trace survives. 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
