The National Monuments Service's description
Some 150m NNW of a ringfort (GA087-214----). Poorly preserved almost circular rath (N-S 26m, E-W 25.5) defined by an overgrown bank and external fosse from SSE through S to W. Elsewhere a scarp and a slight external depression form the enclosing elements. Gap (Wth 5m) at SSW may be original. A field bank cuts the monument at NW and SW.
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).
