100m E of a megalithic tomb (GA036-006----). A semicircular arc (N-S c. 29m) extending from N through E to SE has been exposed as a result of turf-cutting. It is defined by a low drystone wall surviving only as a foundation. This appears to be a pre-bog enclosure, the bulk of which is still covered by peat. A setting of stones in NW part of the interior, just E of the cutting face, could represent the remains of a hut.
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).
