On S bank of the Killian River. According to local tradition, there is a 'cave' on a rise on S side of the river from which a 'tunnel' leads to a 'fort' in Tirur (GA046-080----), 2.5km to WSW. 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).
