The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular earthen enclosure (E-W 40.7m) defined from SW through N to SE by a scarp, and delimited elsewhere by a field bank. A field fence cuts the enclosure at WSW and NNW. Quarrying has destroyed the enclosing element at 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).
