The National Monuments Service's description
Just outside SE corner of a large square sheep enclosure on mountainside c. 250m NW of a ringfort (GA025-004----). Known locally as Cillín, it consists of a roughly square area (L/Wth 12m), surrounded by a slight earthen bank. Many small set boulders are visible within it, as well as the foundations of a rectangular stone structure (L c. 2.5m, Wth c. 1.25m) (info. T. Robinson). Not visited.
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).
