This one is barely there at all, at least from the ground. A small circular enclosure, roughly ten metres across, sits in a stretch of rough pasture and exposed bogland in Cloonteen, visible not to the naked eye of a passing walker but to the lens of a satellite camera. It may be a ring-barrow, a type of prehistoric funerary monument in which a low mound is surrounded by a circular ditch, and it is precisely the kind of feature that bogs and poor grazing land have a habit of preserving while more productive landscapes erase them entirely.

The site was identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère, working from aerial imagery captured between 2011 and 2013. What the imagery revealed was not one potential monument but two: a second possible barrow lies roughly eighteen metres to the north-west, suggesting this patch of bogland in east Galway may once have held a small funerary grouping rather than an isolated burial feature. Paired or clustered barrows are known elsewhere in Ireland, where the placement of the dead near earlier graves seems to have been a deliberate act of landscape memory, each new burial anchoring itself to what had come before. Whether that pattern applies here remains unconfirmed; both features are described as possible rather than certain, and neither has been excavated or surveyed at ground level.
