The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a slight rise in undulating farmland. A poorly preserved kidney-shaped enclosure (E-W c. 52.5m, N-S 23.5m) defined by a bank from N to NE, and by a scarp from E to S. The entire W half has been quarried away, but slight traces of the bank are visible at W. According to local tradition, there is a 'cave' (possible souterrain) within the interior of which no visible surface trace survives.
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).
