What is recorded here

On a limestone terrace c. 100m SE of a similar group of cairns (GA110-045----). A group of four cairns lying c. 25m apart and varying in construction. The best preserved is conical in shape (D 2m, H 1.55m) and is constructed of limestone blocks. The others consist of limestone uprights around and against which are piled smaller stones. Numerous very small piles of stone are visible between the cairns. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.
