The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying grassland. A number of streams encircle the monument from SW through N to SE. Poorly preserved and heavily overgrown rectangular area (E-W c. 48m, N-S 34m) defined by a scarp, intervening fosse and outer bank. No visible surface trace of the enclosing elements survives from NE to SE where a field bank cuts the monument. The outer bank has been reused as a field boundary from NW to NE. The W side of the monument is densely overgrown, and a disused quarry lies just outside to W. Numerous field banks radiate from the monument. (Neary 1914, 121, no. 75)
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).
