The National Monuments Service's description
In W half of a ringfort (GA057-117----). A drystone-built souterrain, L-shaped in plan, which has been infilled and is now inaccessible. Two sections are discernible: the 1st (L 5.5m, Wth 1.1m) runs E-W. There is a gap to E between it and the 2nd section (L 4m, Wth 1.43m) which runs on a N-S axis. One roof lintel is visible in both parts.
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).
