What is recorded here

Below HWM on E coast of the island just S of a small inlet called Crompán an Mhaide Mhóir. Known locally as Tobar Cholmcille, it consists of a small round pothole, not to be confused with a tub-sized pothole higher up on the shore which many mistake for the holy well (info. T. Robinson). Not visited. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
