The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SW-facing slope in grassland. Very poorly preserved circular enclosure (D 32m) defined by a scarp (H 1m) and external fosse. A field bank cuts the monument at NW and SW, and only faint traces of the scarp and fosse are visible to SW of it. At NE, a linear hollow (Wth 6m), up to 0.5m in depth, runs off at right angles from the fosse.
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).
