The National Monuments Service's description
On the lakeshore, 450m S of the Augustinian abbey (GA069-001013-). Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1934) but mentioned previously by Fahey (1904, 135). Not located: however, an old estate well has collapsed in the area and its rubble may obscure it. (Killanin and Duignan 1967, 57)
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).
