The National Monuments Service's description

In SE quadrant of a ringfort (GA046-042----). A shallow oblong hollow (N-S 5m, E-W 2m) is pointed out as the entrance to a 'cave'. According to the landowner, this was accessible in this father's time via a 'gate' which has since collapsed.

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).
