On S bank of a stream, which also marks the townland boundary, c. 150m upstream from Loch an Mhuilinn. Known locally as Tobairín an Átha Leacaigh, it consists of a small natural triangular hollow in a broad flagstone close to an obvious crossing-point on the stream (info. T. Robinson). Not visited.
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).
