The National Monuments Service's description
Some 120m N of another ringfort (GA099-057----). Poorly preserved overgrown circular rath (D 38m) defined by bank, no visible surface trace of which survives from ENE to S. A gap (Wth 2.5m) at SW may be original. In the centre of the interior is a shallow grassy subrectangular hollow (L 4m, Wth 2m) running N-S.
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).
