The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying grassland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 40m). Apart from an arc of rubble (L c. 10m) along SW limits, possibly the last vestiges of a wall, no visible surface trace survives. However, the irregular plan of the small field in which it lies may partly mirror its former outline.
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).
