The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as an oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 45m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is overlain by the NNW-SSE Roscommon-Athlone road (N 61) but lying mostly W of it. Situated on a slight WSW-facing slope. A D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 30.5m NW-SE; 10.25m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 0.55m) S-NW survives. It is truncated by the road at E and only survives SW of this. Rath (RO045-154----) is c. 190m to the NE.
