The National Monuments Service's description
In SW quadrant of a ringfort (GA086-039----). What is visible is a grassy L-shaped depression (L 19.3m). The long axis (L 10.8m, Wth 4.2m), running ESE-WNW, has quite a lot of stone visible in its sides and base. The short axis (L 8.5m, Wth 3.8m) extends off W end and turns sharply to N, running NNE-SSW. This section averages 3.8m in width and is up to 1.6m in depth. Directly to N of this depression, there is a large rectangular slab on the ground surface.
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).
