The National Monuments Service's description
Close to the summit of a low hill in grassland. Subcircular rath (N-S c. 40m, E-W 35m) defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank is best preserved from NNW through N to ENE, a scarp forms the enclosing element from ENE through S to SW; elsewhere a field boundary overlies the enclosing element. A number of other field boundaries cut the monument. An enclosure (GA019-008----) lies c. 160m to N and two ringforts (GA019-010---- and GA019-013----) lie c. 170m and c. 5m to SSW and E respectively.
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).
