On a narrow limestone terrace c. 340m WSW of Teampall na Naomh (GA110-073001-). Known locally as An Cnocán Glás (pers. comm. T. Robinson), it consists of a horseshoe-shaped grassed-over stony mound (WSW-ENE 21m, NNW-SSE 19.2m, H 1.7m) opening towards ENE. The mound appears to be composed of small angular pieces of limestone. There is a small upright stone at WSW end of the central hollow. Despite the absence of a visible water source, the morphology of the monument suggests that it may be a fulacht fiadh. (Robinson 1980)
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).
