On an E-facing slope in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved circular ringfort (D 33m) defined by a denuded bank of earth and stone. Gaps at NW and NNE may be modern. A low rectangular mound of earth and stone (L 9m, Wth 2m) is visible within the interior. A ringfort (GA042-038----) lies c. 300m to SE.
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).
