The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing hillslope. A well- preserved circular rath (D c. 35m) defined by a bank and wide shallow external fosse. A number of gaps are present but all appear to be modern. The interior is flat but largely impenetrable due to dense hazel and briar growth.
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).
