The National Monuments Service's description
Part of Baile na mBocht (GA110-162----). The westernmost of a group of four monuments described by Kinahan (1869d, 27, no. 19) as the 'Ruins of two Fosleac and two Ointigh' (for details of the others see GA110-122003-, GA110-122002--GA110-122004-). What survives today is the poorly preserved remains of a rectangular, slab-built structure (L 8.8m, Wth 1.15m, H 0.6m), aligned N-S, with a side-chamber on W side. All of the endstones are gone and only two slabs of the side-chamber survive. (Robinson 1980)
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).
