What is recorded here

In a prominent location in grassland. A very poorly preserved rectangular area (E-W 12.5m, N-S 11.2m) defined by a scarp at S; elsewhere no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives. Several overgrown set stones are visible, aligned in N-S rows, indicating graves oriented E-W. A low stony mound (L 2.8m, Wth 1.7m) lies at E and is probably the result of field clearacne. 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
