The National Monuments Service's description
On the summit of a ridge flanked by bogland and the Clare River to S. Circular rath (D 47.7m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank and fosse do not survive from SSE through S to SW, and the outer bank is not present from NE to ESE. A gap at SSE, although modern, may have given original access. A CBG (GA029-099001-) lies within the interior.
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).
