• GA042-010 Standing stone - pair
  Description

  On a slight rise in grassland. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1920) as three small dots aligned NE-SW. It consists two large eroded limestone slabs aligned as on map and set 2.2m apart. Both are subrectangular in plan, but N stone (L 1.9m) is now prostrate. Like S stone (H 1.8m), it appears to have been formerly held in place by basal-packing stones. An unclassified stone structure (GA042-011----) lay 325m to S. 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
