The National Monuments Service's description
On S slope of a ridge in pastureland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a cluster of trees enclosed by a circular broken line. It comprises an oval enclosure (E-W 50m, N-S 37m) defined by an inner bank, an intervening fosse, and an outer bank which is present only from W to NW. Mature trees are growing along the inner bank and in the interior which is also subdivided by a later bank. Possibly a tree-ring enclosure but it could be a landscaped ringfort.
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).
