The National Monuments Service's description
On level cleared ground. A very poorly preserved circular enclosure (D c. 30m) cut across by a modern field wall running from E to W. No visible surface trace of the monument survives to N of this wall. To S of it, a low platform is defined by a curving scarp. An enclosure (GA061-122----) lies 80m to NNE.
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).
