The National Monuments Service's description
Immediately SW of an enclosure (GA057-010001-). A number of house foundations, isolated banks and at least one subcircular feature are visible: (a) a rectangular area (NE-SW; L 7.5m, Wth 4.7m) defined by a degraded grassy bank; (b) a short distance to SW of it, a rectangular area (N-S; L 9.5m, Wth 8.2m) defined by bank; (c) a short distance to W of the enclosure, a U-shaped feature (D 1.9m) defined by a substantial grassy bank (Wth 4m). According to local tradition, 'the earliest village' in Annagh Hill was located here.
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).
