The National Monuments Service's description
On N-facing slope of a hill in low-lying grassland. Known locally as The Fort of the Three Shouts' (Neary 1914, 112-13, no. 116), this well-preserved circular rath (D 40m) is defined by an inner scarp, two banks and two intervening fosses. Quarrying has encroached upon the enclosing elements at S and NW. A field bank overlies the outermost bank at NNW. There is an entrance at N. A ringfort (GA017-057----) lies c. 400m to NW.
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).
