The National Monuments Service's description
On S slopes of hill in flat farmland. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as an oval enclosure (c. 40m by c. 35m). During the course of aerial reconnaissance in June 1963 (CUCAP AHM 38), all that was visible was a cropmark. 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).
