In level pastureland close to N edge of an area prone to flooding: known locally as 'the turlough'. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 30m) cut by a field boundary at E and W. Apart from tentative remains of a bank along its S limits, no visible surface trace survives.
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).
