The National Monuments Service's description
On wet boggy land close to the sea at the base of a ridge of rock outcrop. Known locally as the Lios or Fairy Fort (pers. comm. T. Robinson), this is a subcircular area (NE-SW 10m, NW-SE 9.5m) defined by a low moss-covered stone wall. Possible original entrance at SSE.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
