Within S enclosure of a conjoined ringfort (GA015-047001-). The visible remains comprise a long linear hollow, a short oval hollow and a partially intact chamber, all running on a NNW-SSE axis (L c. 33m). The intact section is just inside the ringfort bank at NNW, where a modern breach, now almost completely choked, allows a view of drystone-built side-walls and a lintelled roof. According to the landowner, this intact section of the souterrain continues towards NNW for a further c. 4m before terminating in a squared-off end wall.
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).
