The archaeological remains here comprised a small subcircular post-hole-shaped cut feature with a charcoal-rich fill, which would appear to have truncated a shallow linear cut feature. Situated at the base of the linear cut and immediately north of this cut was a small subcircular-shaped cut feature. The trench was extended on the western side and a rectangular area measuring 5m (east–west) by 6m was opened. No further features were discovered towards the west; however, it is possible that the site may extend towards the east under the field boundary wall and the regional road R347.
The work was commissioned by Galway County Council National Roads Design Office and sponsored by the National Roads Authority.
