The National Monuments Service's description
Neary (1914, 113, no. 80) records that 'On E. side of Dunmore are three jutting hills crested with pretty clumps of trees, which seem to have had forts formed by scarping on their summits. They lie in arc shape, the central being the largest'. 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).
