In undulating grassland. Known locally as 'Cloch an Bhreithínas' (Judgement Stone), it consists of a large rectangular recumbent limestone boulder (L 2.1m, Wth 2m, H 0.6m). During Cromwellian times, people who were caught attending mass in a nearby valley were tried here and if found guilty were hanged from a tree to SW.
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).
