On a natural rise overlooking Loch Bó Finne to NE and sea to N. Poorly preserved subrectangular enclosure (L 20m, Wth 18m) defined by a bank of earth and stone. A field wall cuts across S part of the enclosure. At E end of the interior is a roughly square raised area (L/Wth 5m, H 1m) held by local tradition to be the site of St Scáithin's oratory (GA009D025003-). A CBG (GA009D025001-) also occupies the interior and there is a holy well (GA009D034----) c. 150m to SW.
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).
