In an area of rock outcrop and scrub close to the boundary between subdivisions of Baile an Lisín and Móinín na Ruaige, Inis Meáin.

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).
