What is recorded here

To NW of and at foot of hill on which Dún Beag stands (GA110-066----). Described by Kinahan (1869d, 28, no. 29) as a 'three-chambered clochan', all that survives today is a penannular grassed-over mound with central depression (3.8m by 3.6m) and a gap at N. Immediately to W is a second collapsed mound (L 3.4m, Wth 3.2m) and 1m to N is a third large oval mound (L 18m, Wth 6m) which may have formed the third chamber. Just to E of these is a bullaun (GA110-063002-). (Robinson 1980) 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). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
