The National Monuments Service's description
Within an enclosure (GA061-122----). According to local information, there was a partially collapsed 'cave' here which was destroyed and/or sealed during land clearance in the 1950s. A shallow depression (L 2m, Wth 1m), up to 0.3m in depth and running N-S, in S half of the interior may indicate its position.
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).
