The National Monuments Service's description
Some 100m SW of a mortuary chapel (GA060-176----). A fairly well-preserved almost square enclosure (E-W 35m, N-S 33m) defined by an inner bank, intervening fosse and outer bank. The outer bank only survives along E side. Abutting the monument to W is a low rectangular platform (N-S 33m, E-W 18m) defined by a scarp. Possibly a moated site.
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).
