The National Monuments Service's description
In hilly farmland. Poorly preserved and very overgrown circular enclosure (D 20.5m). At S, where it is clear of growth, the foundations of a drystone wall are visible, overlain by a modern field wall.
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).
