The National Monuments Service's description
On the summit of a ridge. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1930) as an oval mound (c. 40m by c. 25m). What survives is a poorly preserved circular area defined by a fosse outside of which are three other low grassy banks and two further intervening fosses (D 37m overall). The landowner had a vague local tradition that the spot was used for burial.
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).
