The National Monuments Service's description
On level ground 30m S of, and below, a castle site (GA018-036----). Poorly preserved subrectangular enclosure (N-S 15.8m, E-W 14.8m) defined by a low bank of earth and an external fosse except at N where it appears to have been levelled. The interior is flat save for a slight hollow in NE sector. There are faint traces of a slight raised triangular area adjoining it on E side. Possibly the foundations of a building. (CUCAP AYQ 72)
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).
