The National Monuments Service's description
On S-facing slope in pastureland and tillage. A large quadrangular enclosure (E-W 60m, N-S 39m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The enclosing elements are best preserved along W side and at NE. Traces of inner stone revetment survive on inner bank at E. Field walls overlie the outer bank along W side and at SE, another cuts S section of the monument. Causeway at S appears modern.
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).
