On an E-facing slope in grassland overlooking a bog to E. Named on OS 6-inch maps as 'Monument' and indicated by a tiny open circle. What is visible is a low grassed-over oval mound of earth (NNE-SSW 10m, ESE-WNW 6m). The summit is rounded and stands up to 1.5m in height. A trackway, running N-S, clips the monuments on E side. Possibly a tumulus, but the site name suggests a relatively modern stone structure. This is probably the 'low mound' referred to by Knox (1911a, 109).
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).
