The National Monuments Service's description
On N-facing slopes of Gallows Hill overlooking Aughrim village. Almost circular rath (D 34m), in fair condition, defined by a bank and external fosse; the latter survives from S through W to N. Quarrying has encroached upon the enclosing elements at S.
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).
