The National Monuments Service's description
On an E-facing slope in gently undulating grassland. Known locally as 'Lisduff', this poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S c. 33m) is defined by a scarp, intervening fosse and outer bank, best preserved from N through E to SE. Elsewhere a slight rise delimits the monument. A field wall cuts the fosse and outer 40bank at S.
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).
