In a sheltered spot on ENE side of Cruagh Island. A small subcircular enclosure (D c. 20m) (GA021-038----), in fair condition, with a pair of conjoined huts (Ds 4m (GA021-038001-) and 6m (GA021-038002-)) along N perimeter. The latter have evidently been reused as sheep pens (info. M. Gibbons). This may possibly be the same as the 'spot on the north side of the island called Caibidil na mbrathar' referred to in OS letters (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 79). Not visited.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
