The National Monuments Service's description
In a field on N side of a track-way towards S end of Inis Meáin. Known locally as a grave (pers. comm. T. Robinson), it consists of a small rectangular grassed-over stony mound (L 3m, Wth 1.2m, H 0.35m) aligned NNE-WSW from which three small limestone uprights protrude. There is a small grass-covered cairn (D 1.3m, H 0.3m) c. 5m to NE.
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).
