The National Monuments Service's description
In level grassland. Almost circular rath (E-W 37.5m, N-S 37m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse; no visible surface trace of the latter survives from E to SE. Both banks are quarried out at W. An earthen bank, possibly associated, radiates from the monument at N.
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).
