The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating pastureland. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a subcircular enclosure (N-S c. 40m). The monument has been levelled and no visible surface trace survives; the area has been incorporated into a farmyard, and a silage pit and outbuildings have been constructed on it. A limekiln shown along its N boundary on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map is still intact. A CBG (GA029-153002-) is associated.
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).
