The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in grassland. Poorly preserved roughly circular rath (D c. 41m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank survives from N through E to SW, while the fosse and outer bank are extant from NE to SE. A gap at NNE may be original.
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).
