In grassland immediately W of an early ecclesiastical enclosure (GA044-090001-). Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a rectangular building and on 3rd ed. (1932) as an unroofed oval structure (N-S c. 10m). No visible surface trace survives. According to local information, it was constructed of stone which was reused to build a nearby house. Given the ecclesiastical associations of An Gobán Saor (O hOgain 1991), this may well have been an ecclesiastical building.
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).
