On lower hillslopes, close to head of a valley, overlooking Lough Mask to E. Noted in OS Letters as 'A burial place for children called Billow trees [sic]' (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 42), it now consists of an unenclosed and roughly wedge-shaped area (L 12m, Wth 8m) occupied by small set stones, indicating graves oriented E-W. Some head- and foot-stones are visible and a row of hawthorn bushes defines N edge. A holy well (GA025-003001-) lies c. 30m to NW.
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).
