The National Monuments Service's description
In level grassland. Very poorly preserved originally circular rath (D 43m), defined by a tree-lined bank from S through W to N. No visible surface trace of it survives elsewhere, or of the external fosse noted by Rynne (Topgr. Files UCG). A gap (Wth 6.5m) at SW may be original.
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).
