The National Monuments Service's description
On a ridge in grassland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (D 33m) defined by a drystone wall. No trace survives at SE due to land reclamation. Field-clearance rubble obscures the enclosing element. A later field wall and animal shelter are visible within the interior. (CUCAP BDT 78)
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).
