What is recorded here

On an overgrown piece of rising ground, towards N end of the island. In the corner of a field known locally as Garraí an Dúidín, are a group of six limestone slabs (H 0.45m), set on edge. These appear to form a roughly rectangular structure on plan which is aligned NE-SW. Though classified as a megalithic tomb in the SMR (Gosling et al. 1987), the remains are insufficient to permit class­ification (info. J. Waddell). Not visited. (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).
