Description
In a slight hollow in pasture-land. Indicated on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 30m). No visible surface trace survives. 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). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
- GA082-101 Cairn - unclassified
Description
On a low hillock sloping gently to the N with panoramic views over Lough Corrib, in rough rocky pastureland. When initially inspected in April 2002, this small partially tumbled rectangular drystone cairn (L 1.6m ESE-WNW; Wth 0.8m; H 0.6m) was obscured by the growth of briars. It was known locally as a Fenian grave and it may be a memorial cairn of 18th-century date. On re-inspection in January 2023, the cairn was still extant but collapsed material was evident around all sides of it and the area itself was more densely overgrown with scrub.
