The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating grassland overlooking bogland to SE. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1930) as a subrectangular enclosure (E-W c. 40m, N-S c. 35m) cut by a road at N. An earthen bank is visible from W to NW; elsewhere the enclosing element has been levelled and only a slight rise indicates its outline. Traces of a possible outer bank are visible at SE. There is a CBG (GA004-024001-) within the interior.
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).
