Below HWM on rocky foreshore close to the mouth of a small inlet called Béal an Chalaidh. Known locally as Tobar Cholmcille, it consists of a small natural pothole on seaweed-covered rock. According to Mac Giollarnáth (1941), it used to have a stone lid which returned of its own accord when thrown into the sea. Not visited. (Robinson 1985, 39) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
