At base of an escarpment overlooking Baile an Mhothair, Inis Meáin. Known locally as Réidh na hUanach from legends connected with the natural cave at this spot (Robinson 1980). In 1933, Mac Domhnaill (Topgr. Files, NMI) pinpointed it as being 'cliff dwellings showing traces of kitchen midden at entrance'. Apart from the partly blocked entrance to the natural cave, no visible surface trace survives.
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).
