The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in undulating pastureland. Circular rath (D 33m), in fair condition, defined by three banks and three fosses. The enclosing elements are best preserved from NE through E to SE. A field wall overlies the middle bank from NW to N; no visible surface trace of the outermost bank and fosse survives from SE through W to NE. Possible entrance gap at NNW.
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).
