The National Monuments Service's description
In NW quadrant of Dún Beag (GA110-066----). Poorly preserved remains of a possible conjoined clochan. All that survives is the grassed-over outline of two contiguous oval chambers aligned on a NE-SW axis: the NE chamber (4.4m by 3.2m) is slightly dished in profile (see GA110-066001-)and smaller than SW one (5m by 4.2m) (see GA110-066002-). A third possible clochan (GA0110-066003-) lies in SW sector: it consists of a low mound (L 8.5m, Wth 5.5m) with a central depression.
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).
