The National Monuments Service's description
Some 30m to E and NE of a ringfort (GA056-014----). A much-ruined circular house (D 12m) defined by a double drystone wall and a rubble core; best preserved from NW to SE. A rectangular structure (Wth 1.4m) built into the wall at WNW may be a later insertion. A similar house (D 5.8m, H 0.75m) lies immediately to SE. A gap at NW may be original.
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).
