Part of Baile na mBocht (GA110-162----); in a level field to W of a lane. The northernmost of a group of four monuments described by Kinahan (1869d, 27, no. 19) as the 'Ruins of two Fosleac and two Ointigh' — for details of the others see GA110-122003-, GA110-122004-, GA110-122001-. What survives today is a roughly oval pile of stones (NNE-SSW 7m, WNW-ESE 3.6m, H 0.7m) laid flat on top of one another, with two protruding uprights near NNE end.
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).
