What is recorded here

In a small field towards S end of Inis Meáin. Known locally as 'Buaile na Naomh' (Robinson 1980). What survives today is a circular, grassed-over mound of earth and stone (D 9m, H 0.5m) with four upright stones on its summit. This may be the monument referred to by Mac Domhnaill in 1933 (Topgr. Files, NMI) as a 'grave'. 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
