At the base of an esker ridge in grassland. A SE-NW running stream runs to W. According to local tradition, there was a holy well called Tobar na Glinn here. It has been covered up by a low irregular mound of limestone pebbles. A crudely carved sandstone cross fragment (L 0.79m, Wth 0.39m) occupies the top of the mound. A circular flat-topped grassed-over mound of stones (D c. 0.2m), locally believed to be a penitential station, lies c. 30m to SW. A ringfort (GA016-094----) and a CBG (GA016-094001-) lie a short distance to WSW.
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).
