The National Monuments Service's description
At W limits of a field system (GA044-058----). Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (NE-SW 42m, N-S 36m) defined by a low drystone wall best preserved at S. Field-clearance rubble obscures the enclosing element from N through E to SE. Within the interior are two possible house sites (GA044-054001- and GA044-054002-). There are two ringforts (GA044-058001-, GA044-053----) 300m to ESE and 100m to S respectively.
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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
