The National Monuments Service's description
Within an oval enclosure (GA027-041----). Both the site name, correctly Lisín na Cafffach, and the td. name suggest the presence of a CBG. However, no visible surface trace survives in the interior.
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).
