What is recorded here

On a natural rise in gently rolling farmland, S of Callow Lough. This CBG consists of apoorly preserved rectangular area (L 18m, Wth 14m) slightly raised above field level. Traces of a low enclosing wall are visible at N and E. The interior is occupied by large and small limestone boulders aligned in rows indicating graves oriented N-S. The 1st ed. OS 6-inch map suggests the area was once surrounded by an enclosure (D c. 20m), no visible surface trace of which 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
