The National Monuments Service's description
In level farmland. Circular enclosure (D c. 40m), in fair condition, defined by a central platform, an internal fosse, intervening bank and external fosse. A gap (Wth 4m) at NNE may be original. Possible traces of an inner bank are visible at NNE, though this may simply be due to the slightly dished profile of the central platform.
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).
