On the summit of a hill overlooking the inner reaches of Streamstown Bay to SW. Two stones are aligned NE-SW and 1.75m apart. Both stones are of schist. The N stone is triangular in plan (H 1.1m) and S stone is rectangular (H 2.1m). A thin outlying monolith, irregular in plan (H 0.8m), lies 9m due SE of N stone. Lying beside it is another stone, also of schist (0.7m by 0.4m). Gibbons and Higgins (1988c) interpret this as a possible stone circle; it also has affinities with four-poster monuments. (Ormsby 1914; Kinahan 1872, 12; Ó Nualláin 1988, 197)
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).
