The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in reclaimed pastureland. Poorly preserved circular earthwork (D 7.5m, H 0.5m) defined by a bank and external fosse, the latter being visible only at S. The interior is slightly hollow, and it and a possible gap (Wth 2m) at W are much obscured by field-clearance rubble.
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).
