Close to W shore of Lough Corrib. A large oval enclosure (E-W 94.6m; N-S 65.2m) defined by an earth and stone bank, best preserved at S (Wth 2m; H 0.7m) but disturbed elsewhere by farm buildings and modern walls. A small D-shaped enclosure (20.5m by 11.2m), in S half of interior, contains a church (GA054-061003-). No visible trace survives of the bullaun mentioned by Kinahan (1868a, 77) as lying to S of it, or of the 'Mound (Site of)' shown on OS 6-inch map to NW. (Killanin 1947, 124)
