The National Monuments Service's description
On NW-facing slope of a ridge in grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 51m) defined by a bank from NW through E to S. A field bank cuts the rath at NW and S, to SW of which a degraded scarp forms the enclosing element. Possible external fosse at S. A gap (Wth 2m) at SE could be original.
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).
