What is recorded here
In grassland. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1932) as a small mound (D c. 10m). Described by de Valera and Ó Nualláin (1972, 28) as 'three large blocks … and three smaller stones … on top of a small grassy mound' (H 0.65m). They suggested that it may be 'largely natural' and it is traditionally known as a mass rock.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
