The National Monuments Service's description
Some 225m SSW of a cairn (GA055-001001-). Costello (1924a, 118) refers to 'three other large limestone flags lying flat … one was superimposed on the other … known locally as Leabaidh an fhir mhoir'. However, these were 'broken up and used for building a new wall' shortly afterwards. 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).
