Within a small field in Ceathrú an Locha close to SE coast of the island. Traces of a possible enclosure/mound survive in the form of a thick revetted drystone wall curving from W through N to NNE (Wth l-5m, H 1.2m max.) and appearing to enclose an area to E of it. Along E and SE side of the field, a steep natural slope/scarp may represent a continuation of its line. From S to SW its course appears to be represented by a large ill-defined grassy oblong mound (E-W c. 16m, H 1.7m max.). This appears to be composed of a mass of broken limestone, limpet shells and animal bone. (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).
