The National Monuments Service's description
In flat rocky scrubland. Aerial reconnaissance in November 1987 (ASGAP 383:10-11) revealed a small circular enclosure with traces of an annexe on N side. The enclosing element appears to have been a collapsed stone wall. A number of field walls are associated. Not visited.
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).
