The National Monuments Service's description
On the summit of a low hillock in rolling grassland. Known locally as 'Kenny's Fort' (Neary 1914, 113, no. 119), this poorly preserved circular rath (D c. 26m) is defined by a degraded scarp outside of which from S to SW is a berm, possibly the remains of an external fosse. An unclassified stone structure (GA017-058-) lay immediately to W.
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).
