What is recorded here

On a gentle N-facing slope at N end of Inis Meáin. Known locally as Creig an Bheallach, it consists of the foundations of a substantial drystone wall (L >21m, Wth c. 5m, H 1m), running NW-SE, but robbed at both ends for field walls. No visible surface trace survives of the 'midden of shells' noted by 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).
