The National Monuments Service's description

Circa 100m SSW of a ringfort (GA029-159----). Very poorly preserved circular enclosure (D 32.5m) defined by an earthen bank at N, and from SE to S. A scarp defined the monument from S to SW. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere.

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).
