The National Monuments Service's description
At N end of Baile na mBocht (GA110-162----). Kinahan (1869d, 26, no. 8) refers to 'A group of three mounds'. Two mounds were located: (a) the W mound (E-W 12.1m, N-S 15.5m, H 1.4m) is crescentic in plan, opening to S; (b) 3m to E is a second mound (E-W 7.9m, N-S 10.2, H 1.1m), oval in plan. Robinson's map (1980) also shows two mounds though they may not be the same as those described here.
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).
