The National Monuments Service's description
Some 100m N of an enclosure (GA070-072----). Well-preserved circular house (D 5.5m) clearly defined by inner and outer wall-facing from E through S to W; elsewhere a grassed-over stony bank forms the enclosing element. According to local tradition, burial took place here.
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).
