What is recorded here

Two massive stones still stand in Ower farmland, one upright and one leaning against it like a tired guardian. They may be all that remains of the cromleagh Wilde measured in 1872, when its top stone stretched nearly three metres across the field. A shed has since closed around them, turning an ancient chamber into a corner of ordinary farm life.

In undulating farmland, 170m E of Kildaree Church (GA041-045----). Described by Wilde (1872, 125) as 'the remains of a cromleagh, termed, as such structures usually are, Leabha-Dearmid-agus-Grania, … it top stone is 9 1/2 feet [2.9m] long'. What survives are two massive stones incorporated into a shed. One stone stands upright (L 2.3m, H 2.2m) and is aligned NE-SW, while the second (L 2.3m, H 2.2m) rests against its NE end (Topgr. Files, OSI). Not visited. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
