The National Monuments Service's description

In pastureland, c. 60m to the E of Kilclooy Castle (GA016-062001-). Aerial reconnaissance (CUCAP ATF 57) in July 1967 brought to light a field system (GA016-062002-) and an old roadway to its E. The roadway ran roughly SSE-NNW (L c. 140m) and then kinked to a more NNE direction (L c. 100m) and continued on to the old Galway-Tuam road. On inspection in November 1990, only traces (Wth 5m) of it were visible. Current aerial imagery (OSi DigitalGlobe 2011-2013) indicates that the re-aligned N17 cuts through its N limits.
