On the summit of a flat-topped hill (OD 330.5ft), 2.5km W of Knockmaa (see GA042-064002-). Named 'Poulnahallia or Kildrum' on OS Fair Plan, it is a grassed-over flat-topped subcircular cairn (E-W 12.2m, N-S 11.7m, H c. 4m) in fair condition. A slight hollow on the summit appears to be the result of modern interference. A human skull and a whetstone were found during 'excavations' in 1902 (Costello 1905, 37; Waddell 1975, 18; 1990, 94).
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).
