The National Monuments Service's description
On level ground. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1915) as a subcircular enclosure (N-S c. 36m, E-W c. 32m). The monument was levelled in 1981, according to local information, and all that survives is a very faint scarp from SW through N to SE. A CBG (GA061-096001-) is associated.
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).
