The National Monuments Service's description
On shoreline just S of the head of a large inlet on E side of the island. Known locally as Tobar Muire, it consists of a water-filled hollow in an overgrown marshy corner immediately S of a field wall. No traces of offerings are visible: it is not frequented nowadays. Not visited. (Robinson 1985, 17)
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).
