Some 45m WNW of Teampall Chiaráin (GA111-002001-). Known locally as Tobar Chiaráin, it consists of a natural spring filling a hollow in the rock at the inner end of a U-shaped enclosure (L c. 3m, Wth c. 2m). The latter is built of massive limestone blocks and opens towards E. Just outside this are traces of a low curving bank (L 6m, Wth 2.1m, H 1.25m).
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).
