The National Monuments Service's description
On a narrow limestone terrace c. 500m SW of the village of Eoghanacht, Inis Mór. The remains comprise two very ruined clochans: (a GA110-016----) a featureless rectangular structure (L 3.6m, Wth 2.9m ext.), the roof and much of the walls of which have collapsed into interior. It is known locally as Clochán an Airgid (pers. comm. T. Robinson); (b GA110-016001-) immediately to N is an oval structure (L 6.1m, Wth 5.1m). Some roof corbels survive intact at SW, but the interior is choked with collapsed roof and wall material.
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).
