The National Monuments Service's description
Some 150m SE of a ringfort (GA099-049----). Circular rath (D 26m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. A C-shaped depression is visible on the outer face of the inner bank at SSE. Gap (Wth 2m) at NW may be original. Two large limestone blocks in NW section of the interior may be natural.
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).
