The National Monuments Service's description
On low-lying level ground. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1933) as a subcircular enclosure (NW-SE c. 40m) cut along W side and from NE to SW by two modern field walls. The latter wall is still present, and a curving scarp line to NW of it indicates the outline of the monument. No visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to SE it.
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).
