The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in gently undulating grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (NNW-SSE 45m) defined by a bank, no visible surface trace of which survives from NE through E to SE where a field wall cuts the monument. A second field wall overlies the enclosing element at NW. Within the interior are two subcircular hollows; centrally placed between them is a low mound of earth and stone, possibly upcast.
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).
