The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in undulating grassland overlooking bogland to E. An originally circular enclosure (D c. 45m) defined by a scarp from NE through E to SW. No visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives elsewhere as it is cut by a road from SW to NW, and by a field wall at NW and NE. A castle (GA066-042----) lies to N.
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).
