The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating grassland on SW outskirts of Aughrim village. A very poorly preserved oval rath (E-W 41m, N-S 30m) defined by a degraded bank which has been disturbed by quarrying. A low bank extends from the enclosing element at NE before joining a scarp (H 0.3m), running E-W, which touches the perimeter of the enclosure at N: possibly associated field boundaries.
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).
