The National Monuments Service's description
On WSW-facing slope of a ridge in gently undulating grassland; a stream flows to W. A subcircular area (N-S 16m, E-W 10m) cut by a field wall at NW and N. A scarp defines the monument to N of this wall, while to S, it is delimited by a much-collapsed stone wall. There is a small mound of loose stone (N-S 5.4m, E-W 3.6m) in E half of the interior. A conjoined ringfort (GA042-057----) lies immediately to ENE. Possibly a poorly preserved circular house.
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).
