On E side of Inis Oírr c. 250m from seashore. Known locally as Buaile Glas and described by Robinson (1980) as an 'old burial place with traces of surrounding wall'. It consists of a low ovate cairn of stone running NE-SW (L >12m, Wth 6.5m, H 1m) which fades out at NE end (possibly due to robbing). Traces of a slab revetment are visible at SW end and along W side. Numerous small set slabs, some forming rectangular settings, are visible on the summit.
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).
