On a gentle SW-facing slope in pastureland, c. 120m W of a stream. Discovered in May 1992, at a depth of 0.3-0.5m, while digging an ESB cable trench. A number of skeletons were discovered, possibly two adults and a child. When inspected the trench had been backfilled and all that survived were a number of human bone fragments and traces of burnt clay (Topgr. Files, OPW).
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).
