It consists of a small triangular area (NNW-SSE 17m, WSW-ENE 6m) defined along NW side by a low bank and elsewhere by a scarp up to 1.8m in height. A number of small undressed grave-markers are visible in the interior, particularly in N sector where they are aligned in rows indicating graves oriented NE-SW. According to local tradition, the last burial took place c. 1940. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
