The National Monuments Service's description
On a small Stream c. enclosure (GA051-002----). Known locally as Tobar Chonaill, it consists of a small horseshoe-shaped drystone enclosure (2.5m by 1.5m), opening towards SE, which straddles the stream. Still much frequented. (Killanin 1954, 102; Robinson 1985, 7; Killanin and Duignan 1967, 103)
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).
