The National Monuments Service's description
In bogland interspersed with glacial ridges. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1930) as a semicircular depression (D c. 35m) on SW side of a laneway. The landowner levelled a small sand hill here some years ago, but was afterwards informed that it was a 'fort'. No visible surface trace survives.
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).
