The National Monuments Service's description
At W edge of low- lying marshy land, 150m NW of an extensive field system (GA071-043----). A road cuts the monument at NNE and SSW to E of which a large semicircular raised area (NNE-SSW 78m, H c. 1m) is defined by scarp from NE through E to S. No visible surface trace survives to W of the road. However, in a narrow field immediately W of it, there are traces of two grassed-over earthen banks (Wth c. 1.5m, H c. 1m), running E-W, between which lies a small stony mound; possibly associated features.
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).
