The National Monuments Service's description
Within an enclosure (GA060-074----). A circular area (D 10m) within which a few small set stones are visible. Though the site name, 'Caltraghpasty Fort', suggests the presence of a CBG, local people were not aware of its existence.
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).
