Quarry, Curraghrevagh, Co. Galway

Some entries in the archaeological record turn out to be monuments to cartographic caution rather than to anything built or buried.

At Curraghrevagh in County Galway, a hachured area on the 1931 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, the kind of marking typically used to suggest a depression, earthwork, or other surface irregularity, was investigated in 1984 and found to be a disused gravel pit. Nothing more, and nothing less.
