Within a ringfort (GA016-060----). Represented in name only on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1932). Apart from a circular hollow (D c. 3m), no visible trace survives. Costello (1903, 5) refers to it as 'a two-chambered cave of the usual'. According to local information, it was destroyed in the late 1970s.
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).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
