In level grassland within the former Clonbrock estate. Very poorly preserved circular rath (D 49m) defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank survives from S through W to N and the fosse at NW. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere. An icehouse (GA060-044002-) associated with the nearby mansion lies to SE.
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).
