The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating grassland. An extensive complex of collapsed stone walls and earthen banks, covering an area c. 900m E-W by c. 450m N-S, was brought to light during aerial reconnaissance in July 1967 (CUCAP AFT 43). They form a series of small irregular fields within which the remains of the following were noted: (a) a holy well (GA028-043----), (b) a limekiln, (c) two rectangular enclosures (GA028-043001--GA028-043002-), (d) two ringforts (GA028-043003----, GA028-044----), (e) a circular enclosure (GA028-043005-) and (f) close to NE limits, a rectangular house (NW-SE; L 7.8m, Wth 4.8m) defined by a partially grassed-over drystone wall. There is an entrance in N wall and the interior appears to be subdivided into three compartments. Another field system (GA028-020----) lies c. 400m to ENE.
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).
