The National Monuments Service's description
In grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 34m, E-W 28m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank survives at N and S; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse survives from S through W to N, but the outer bank is visible only at NNE.
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).
