The National Monuments Service's description
Some 110m WSW of a tumulus (GA055-006----). Costello (1924a, 118) refers to 'three large limestone flags, two lying on the ground, and one standing on its side … this is probably a displaced covering stone of a Cromlech'. According to the field notes of the Megalithic Survey (Topgr. Files, OSI), this site 'was a natural erratic'; 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).
