In a very flat, open and locally low-lying area of partially reclaimed scrubland. No visible stream but the ground immediately to NW is waterlogged. A large kidney-shaped grassy mound is visible, open towards the WSW (NNW-SSE 17.5m, ENE-WSW 14m, H 1m). Thick sod cover mantles a core of friable and angular pieces of granite. Traces of revetment exist along N side of trough area. Four other small low mounds, visible 42m to NE, 18m to SSE, 47m to WSW and 5m to NW, are probably also fulachta fiadh.
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).
