The National Monuments Service's description
On low-lying ground to NW of Eskerstephen graveyard (GA045-050002-). Aerial reconnaissance in July 1968 (CUCAP AVM 44) revealed a vegetation mark comprising two strongly curving concentric lines. These possibly form part of a field system or a large enclosure associated with the graveyard. No visible surface trace survives.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
