In forest and scrubland, c. 1km SW of Burnthouse. It consists of a natural spring which, though dry at the time of visit, evidently issues from the ground at N end of a shallow stony depression (L 2m, Wth c. 1.2m). Some 1.3m to E is a small altar-like arrangement consisting of a flat stone delimited by a stone kerb (D 0.9m) within which modern offerings have been deposited.
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).
