What is recorded here
On W-facing slope overlooking the inner reaches of Cloonisle Bay. Known locally as Garra Mhary, this is a poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (E-W 27.5m, N-S 23.9m) defined by a drystone wall. In the interior is a rectangular drystone structure (L 4.6m, Wth 4.5m), possibly the remains of a house. The monument is cut by a stream which runs through the enclosing element at SSW and NE. There is a second enclosure (GA051-007003-) 250m to NW and between them is a field system (GA051-007----).
