The National Monuments Service's description
Circa 30m SE of a ringfort (GA087-071----). Poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 32m, E-W 27.5m) defined by a degraded bank. A slight depression evident from SSW through W to N may indicate an external fosse. Quarrying has encroached upon the enclosing element at SE and SSW. A gap (Wth 3m) at E may be original.
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).
