The National Monuments Service's description
On a W-facing slope in grassland. A roughly subcircular grassed-over mound of earth and stone (13m by 8m). On the summit is a slight rectangular depression (L 6m, Wth 5m), possibly stone-lined. Though the whole mound could be the result of field clearance, the presence of the latter feature suggests that it is of some antiquity.
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).
