The National Monuments Service's description
On a hummock in grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (E-W 35.5m, N-S 35m) defined by a denuded bank from NNW to NW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. A field boundary overlies the monument from NNW to NNE and another cuts it at NE and SE.
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).
