The National Monuments Service's description
In level grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S c. 40m, E-W 32.5m), defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. A trackway cuts the enclosing elements at S. Either of two gaps at E and S could be original. The interior is now used as a cattle-feeding pen.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
