The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with an enclosure (GA070-079----). The 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1934) shows two small open dots in W and NW sectors of the hachured enclosure. The site is now overgrown with nettles and strewn with rubbish, and all that is visible are a number of large limestone blocks.
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).
