The National Monuments Service's description

On a hill summit in grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 24m) defined by a scarp which is overlain by a field boundary at SW. No visible surface trace of it survives at NE. A ringfort (GA005-059----) lies c. 300m to WSW.

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).
