The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pastureland. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1946) as an oval enclosure (NE-SW c. 80m, NW-SE c. 40m), the N half of which is cut across by a field boundary running NW-NE. All that survives is the area to S of this boundary which is enclosed by a very degraded earthen bank (H 0.7m max.).
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).
