The National Monuments Service's description
Some 30m ESE of a ringfort (GA029-167----). Very poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S c. 50.5m) defined by a degraded scarp, intervening fosse and outer bank. The fosse and outer bank survive from SE through S to WSW; no visible surface trace survives elsewhere. Possible internal division runs WNW-ESE through 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).
