The National Monuments Service's description
On flat land c. 1.3km SSE of Ballindeonagh Castle (GA027-014----). A subrectangular platform (L 35m, Wth 31m), in fair condition, enclosed by two banks with an intervening fosse. No trace of an entrance survives but the monument has been disturbed by quarrying at SW and by a drain along W side. The fosse was fed by a stream which runs along S side, before disappearing into a sink-hole at SE corner.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
