The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating farmland. A circular enclosure (D 31m), in poor condition, defined by a degraded bank and shallow external fosse. Quarrying has destroyed the enclosing elements from E to ESE, and from SE to S a field boundary overlies the fosse. A ringfort (GA074-055----) is visible c. 100m to NE.
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).
