In WNW sector of a ringfort (GA086-168----). What is visible is an overgrown and roughly T-shaped hollow, up to 0.5m in depth, its long axis (L 9.8m, Wth 2m) running WNW-ESE. A small depression (L 2.3m, Wth 2.3m) opens off to N towards its SE end. Several large lintel-like stones are visible along its sides and bottom.
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).
