Recorded monuments

• GA036-006 Megalithic tomb - court tomb
  Description

  Situated on N side of Owenglin river valley. The remains are almost completely buried in bog. It consists of a chamber (L 2.4m, Wth 1m) aligned NW-SE. Two transversely set jambs flanking a low sillstone probably indicate a continuance of the gallery to NW. A displaced roofstone rests on the backstone at SE. The remains probably represent the rear chamber of a court-tomb. The location of this monument is incorrectly marked on the RMP map (1997). 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).
