On top of a rise in undulating grassland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a roughly square area (L/Wth c. 10m); on inspection in June 1984 it was defined by a semicircular unenclosed area (N-S c. 14m) within which a number of small set stones marked graves. On re-inspection in September 2009, it was found that the burial ground had been cordoned off with a wooden post and wire fence and the area immediately outside the fence was heavily poached.
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).
