On top of a prominent hillock. A poorly preserved and totally overgrown oval platform (NW-SE c. 30m, NE-SW c. 25) divided by a N-S running field wall. To E of the wall the enclosing element is reduced to a scrap; to W it was not possible to distinguish it due to overgrowth.
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).
