The National Monuments Service's description
In level grassland near N limits of Ballinasloe town. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a U-shaped enclosure. What survives is a very poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (NNE-SSW 46m, WNW-ESE 40m) defined by a degraded scarp, quarried out at N. The td. boundary overlies the enclosing element at E. The level of the interior is lower than the surrounding terrain.
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).
