The National Monuments Service's description
On a bog-covered terrace overlooking a small stream to N. Three discontinuous stretches of wall are visible in cutaway bog to W and S of an enclosure (GA022-030002-) and a stone pair (GA022-030003-). Built of slabs with occasional orthostats, the wall covers an area c. 300m N-S by 500m E-W. Their exact relationship to enclosure or stone pair is unknown.
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).
