The National Monuments Service's description
Surrounding a castle (GA031-035----). A series of poorly preserved banks, lazy beds and depressions, forming no coherent plan, cover an area c. 150m NE-SW by c. 100m NW-SE. Two small semicircular mounds, close to SE limits, may be collapsed limekilns. A number of drainage ditches are also visible to SW of the castle and a possible trackway to N.
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).
