The National Monuments Service's description

In undulating grassland. Aerial reconnaissance in November 1987 (ASGAP 377:26) brought to light a series of low grassed-over banks of earth and stone covering a roughly triangular area c. 300m N-S by c. 250m E-W. A number of small roughly rectangular fields are visible. Within one of these, smaller enclosures are visible, possibly the remains of buildings.

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).
