The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with an enclosure (GA042-074001-). Aerial reconnaissance in December 1984 (ASGAP 226:27) revealed faint traces of field banks radiating from the enclosure. These have since been levelled as a result of field clearance and no visible surface trace survives.
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).
