The National Monuments Service's description
On E-facing slope of a ridge. This CBG, correctly Lisín an Cealltrach, consists of an unenclosed but slightly raised (H 0.4-0.7m) rectangular area (L 39.4m, Wth 20.1m). Numerous small set stones are visible in the interior which is cut by a modern field wall running SSW-NNE. A bullaun stone lies just outside the burial area to W.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
