In undulating grassland. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as two conjoined circles defined by a line of open dots and labelled 'Stone Circles'. The remains are those of a very poorly preserved conjoined cashel. The NE cashel (NW-SE 55m, NE-SW 34m), oval in plan, is defined by a grassed-over collapsed drystone wall. A number of gaps are present but none appear original. The SW example (D 69m), originally circular in plan, is also defined by a drystone wall but now survives only from SE through W to N. Traces of inner and outer wall-facing are visible intermittently. There is a possible sheep pen in the interior.
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).
