The National Monuments Service's description
In SW quadrant of S rath of a conjoined ringfort (GA086-040002-). What is visible is an overgrown roughly T-shaped depression partially obscured by a fallen tree trunk. Its long axis (L 8.3m, Wth 3.8m) runs NNW-SSE and is up to 1.2m in depth. The junction with the shorter axis (L 4m, Wth 2.9m) lies 3m from its SE end and it runs ESE-WSW. Some large stones are visible along its sides.
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).
