The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in undulating grassland. Well-preserved subcircular rath (ENE-WSW 33m, NNW-SSE 26.6m) defined by a bank. Gaps at WSW and NW appear modern. According to local information, the outer bank was removed in 1974 during land development. Within the interior is a probable souterrain (GA086-033001-).
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).
