The National Monuments Service's description
On SE outskirts of Tuam town (GA029-199----) Poorly preserved oval enclosure (N-S c. 250m, E-W c. 175m) overlain by field boundaries from WSW to W, and from N to ESE; the railway line cuts the monument at NNW and ESE. A substantial bank (Wth c. 2m) faced with a stone wall survives at NNE. A holy well (GA043-080002-) lay within the interior and there is also some evidence of a church here (pers. comm. M. Clyne).
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).
