The National Monuments Service's description
On a hillock in grassland. Well- preserved circular rath (D 30.5m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is faced with stone internally and is best preserved at E and W. The fosse does not survive at SE, and the outer bank is present from SE through S to WSW. A gap at SE 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).
