Some 230m NNE of a ringfort (GA070-104----). Very poorly preserved overgrown oval cashel (E-W 45m, N-S 32m) defined by a collapsed grassed-over drystone wall. A field wall cuts the monument at NNE and SSW. A children's burial ground (GA070-105001-) is visible in the NE quadrant of the interior and there is a house site (GA070-105002-) in the heavily overgrown NW quadrant. 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).
