The National Monuments Service's description
On N shore of Shanakeever Lough. A short portion (L 5.2m) of a stone trackway is visible running N-S, from the water's edge, into the blanket bog. It consists of a bed of flat stones defined along either side by a kerb of set stones (Wth 1.9m, H OJOm). A number of pre-bog walls (GA035-056----) have been recorded in the area to NE.
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).
