Close to the seashore near the mouth of Cuan Chasla. Known locally as Toit Chonáin (pers. comm. T. Robinson), it consists of a roughly circular grassed-over mound (D 13.5m, H 2.4m) composed of shells, principally periwinkle and limpet. This may be the 'kitchen-midden' referred to by Kinahan (1872, 10-11) and Brunicardi (1914, 200).
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).
