The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in grassland. Subcircular cashel (N-S 41m, E-W 35m), in fair condition, defined by a drystone wall obscured along NE by dense overgrowth. Two gaps, at S and NE, appear modern. The interior is disturbed and used as a vegetable garden.
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).
