Recorded monuments

• GA071-034 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  In flat pastureland and tillage. A circular barrow (D 37m), in fair condition, composed of a large central mound (D 6.25m, H 3.1m max. at S) encircled by a substantial fosse and external bank of earth and stone. The bank is extant for only c. 4m at NW. A large central depression in the mound suggests sturbance. A cairn (GA071-035----) lies c. 220m to E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010

  In flat pastureland. A small almost circular grass-covered stone cairn (N-S 9.95m, E-W 9.55m, H 1.25m) in good condition. It is flat-topped but higher at N than at S. Denudation at W has revealed some burnt stone raising the possibility that it may be a large fulacht fiadh. A barrow (GA071-034----) lies 220m to W.
