The National Monuments Service's description
Within a field system (GA056-138----). Poorly preserved circular cashel (D 48m) defined by a grassed-over drystone wall. Numerous gaps in the enclosing element appear modern. Traces of stone walls within the interior may be the remains of internal divisions. A number of houses (see GA056-138002- to GA056-138005-) lie c. 120m to NE.
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).
