The National Monuments Service's description
This possible clochan (7m N-S; 6.3m E-W; H 0.4-1.2m) came to light during the course of fieldwork on the AranLIFE Farming Project (2014-2018) (see www.aranlife.ie). It is located at the SW end of the island in an area of rough grazing. It is defined by a low subcircular overgrown cairn of collapsed stones. Traces of possible openings are evident at E and W.
