The National Monuments Service's description
On a ridge summit in grassland. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1932) as an oval enclosure. What survives is an oval area (NW-SE c. 55m, NE-SW 37m) defined by a Vegetation band, outside of which traces of a second are visible intermittently. There is a probable souterrain (GA017-064001-) in the interior. A moated site (GA017-104----) lies c. 250m to NE.
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).
