Another field wall cuts the monument from NNE to SSE, immediately to E of which lies a railway line. A disused trackway cuts it from NNW to NE. There is a souterrain (GA123-062001-) and a children's burial ground (GA123-062002-) within the interior. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 12 January 2018

- GA123-065 Burial ground
Description
On a gentle SE-facing incline in pastureland. Shown on the OS 1:2500 plan (surveyed 1912-16) to occupy the SW end of a large roughly rectangular field, this rectilinear burial ground (62m NE-SW; 31m NW-SE) is defined by roadside boundary walls along the S and W sides. The enclosing walls shown on the N and E sides appear to have been levelled. Access is via a gateway along the W side. According to local information, it was known as 'Bully's Acre' and people who died in the workhouse located on the outskirts of Gort, c. 630m to the SSW, during the famine were buried here. Numerous small headstones mark graves and three modern headstones, the earliest dating to 1905, are visible close to the gateway. Three trenches are visible running roughly in line with the long axis of the site. A fourth trench lies along the N limits of the site. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 26 March 2020
- GA123-066 Souterrain
Description
In an area of low-lying pastureland and outcropping rock, c. 40m to the E of a river. This drystone-built souterrain was initially visited by the Survey in August 1982. It consisted of a chamber (L 7.1m; Wth 1.5m; H 1.6m) running NE-SW and access as gained at its SW end. From the NE end a narrow, partially blocked, rock-cut passage ran SE for c. 1.8m and then curved to the SW. Two recesses were evident in the SE wall. A revisit in May 1992 indicated that the souterrain had been filled in and no visible surface trace now survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 10 October 2019
