In a small hollow by a streamlet just above shoreline. Known locally as Lios or Cillín (pers. comm. T. Robinson), it consists of an unenclosed triangular ridge and furrow plot (N-S 20m; E-W 27m) overlain by burials. The latter are marked by numerous small set stones, some with head- and foot-stones, aligned roughly E-W. A number of graves are outlined by water-rolled white quartz pebbles. It is said that Famine victims were also buried here (ibid.).
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).
