The National Monuments Service's description
This monument is situated at the foot of a steep face of rock above S inner reaches of Streamstown Bay. It consists of a roughly angled structure (L 3m, Wth 0.9m), aligned approximately ENE-WSW, and covered by two roof-stones. The W opening is divided by a longitudinally set stone. Traces of a mound are visible on W, N and E. The remains of this tomb are insufficient to permit classification. (Petrie 1972, 253, 'Dunmore, and a cromleac adjoining' may refer: see GA035-035001-)
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).
