In a small field at NE end of the island. Known locally as 'An Bhluib' (pers. comm. T. Robinson), it consists of a subcircular grassed-over mound of earth and stone (E-W 11m, N-S 10m, H 1.6m): a small cairn of loose stone surmounts the top. Mason (1938, 196-7) noted 'a small opening evidently leading to a central chamber', no trace of which is now visible. (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).
