On a rocky headland on indented N coast of Inishbofin. An irregular and uneven area (80m by 54m) flanked by deep chasms. Defined along SE side by a curving and much collapsed wall (Wth 2.6m, H >1m), the inner and outer drystone revetments of which survive intermittently. No clear trace of an entrance is visible. Immediately outside the wall are the remains of a circular hut (D 2.5m) (info. from M. Casey). Not visited.
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).
