The National Monuments Service's description
In a low-lying boggy area on the valley floor of Gleann Glaise a short distance to N of the Bealnabrack River. Comprises four white quartz stones, aligned N-S, and measuring 7m overall. The first and third stone, from N to S, have fallen but the original heights appear to have been variable (c. 0.9m, 0.9m, c. 1.5m, 0.75m). There are three fulachta fiadh (GA025-016----, GA025-020----, GA025-021----) in the same valley. (Ó Nualláin 1988, 195)
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).
