Just off the summit, on N slope of a hillock in undulating farmland. Named on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1926-7) as 'Souterrain'. All that is now visible is one lintel protruding from the sod on E side of a stone-strewn depression. Its long axis (L 1.15m) runs N-S suggesting a passage running E-W. There is a local tradition of a 'fort' on the hillock, but no visible surface trace of any earthwork survives.
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).
