The National Monuments Service's description
On a hillock on SW shore of Loch Róisín Dubh. Small poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (10m by 8m) defined by a single line of limestone blocks (H c. 0.7m). A natural boulder is incorporated at SE. The interior is c. 0.5m higher than the surrounding ground surface. Probably an enclosure of some sort but also possibly the remains of a house.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
