The National Monuments Service's description
Within N Half a ringfort (GA057-002----). A rectangular drystone-built souterrain (L 3.3m), running ESE-WNW, to which access is gained via an opening at ESE end. The WNW end of the passage has slightly rounded corners. It is likely that the souterrain extended further to ESE as stone-facing (L 0.66m) is visible beyond the access point, on NNE side.
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).
