According to local information, another similar house lay c. 150m to NE. It was destroyed c. 1979 during field clearance and numerous sherds of pottery were found within the interior. No visible surface trace survivies. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
