The National Monuments Service's description
Surrounding a graveyard (GA016-063001-). Aerial reconnaissance in July 1967 (CUCAP ATF 56) revealed traces of a series of linear banks immediately to S, W and N of the graveyard. Though tending to follow a roughly N-S axis, they form no coherent pattern. No visible surface trace survives of those to N of the graveyard.
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).
