The National Monuments Service's description
In rolling grassland, 250m NW of Barnaderg Castle (GA044-018----). Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1932) as a circular enclosure (D c. 40m). Aerial reconnaissance in July 1970 (CUCAP K17 W 57-9) revealed a low bank in the interior, probably an internal division. Only a low platform now survives as a modern house occupies the monument. A field system (GA044-015----) lies to SW and W. (Norman and St Joseph 1969, 4-5)
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).
