What is recorded here

Bog and stone have both resisted the knife since people stopped chipping the hill. A two-metre slab lies buried under thirty centimetres of uncut turf, its edge showing only when a cut opens the hillside. It may have stood before falling, or never stood at all. Either way, the hill kept a shape larger than itself.

On the summit of a small hill. The edge of a thin slab (2m by 0.2m) is visible in the face of a turf cutting, covered by 0.3m of uncut bog. Possibly a prostrate standing stone. 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).
