On gently undulating farmland immediately NE of a byroad. Originally a stony circular mound (D 35m, H 5.5m), the SW half was completely removed in 1977 during road widening. This revealed a cist composed of at least six slabs, only three of which remain in situ, though now partially slipped. These indicate a chamber (Wth c. 1.5m, H c. 1.8m ext.) aligned approximately NE-SW. According to local information, a quantity of bone was removed from the cist.
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).
