Within an industrial quarry in an area of karstic terrain with rough scrub and grassland. Marked on the 1st ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 30m). This monument has been destroyed as a result of quarrying (Casey 1986, no. 23). It was incorrectly recorded as SMR 082: 031 in the inventory.
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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
