The National Monuments Service's description
On E-facing slope of a ridge in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 27m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. From NE through E to SE, a berm-like feature probably represents the last vestiges of the fosse and outer bank. A field boundary overlies the outer bank at S. A gap (Wth 3.5m) at E could be original. There is a souterrain (GA087-016001-) in the interior.
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).
