The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying marshy land to E of the old Loughrea branch railway line. It consists of a subrectangular flat-topped earthen mound (H 1.8m max.) in fair condition. The flat summit (NW-SE 14.2m, NE-SW 12.5m) is partially mantled by trees which also grow around its flanks: the NE and SE sides have been degraded by livestock.
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).
