The National Monuments Service's description
Within an enclosure (GA086-233001-). A poorly preserved souterrain indicated by a rectangular depression (L 6.9m) running ENE-WSW. Some 4m ENE of this, an exposed roof lintel is visible. From a gap behind it, it is possible to see into an inaccessible chamber with a possible creep running off NNE end. The souterrain apparently ran under the bank of the rath, exiting at NE.
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).
