The National Monuments Service's description
On a S-facing slope in grassland overlooking the Clare River to S. Circular rath (D 35m), in fair condition, defined by two banks of earth and stone and an intervening fosse. The fosse and outer bank do not survive at N or from SSE to SW where a silage pit and road encroach upon the monument. A field wall overlies the outer bank from SW to NW, and there is a small pond at SW. There was a CBG (GA029-015001-) within the interior and a penitential station (GA029-014----) lies 60m to N.
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).
