What is recorded here
In level grassland. Marked on 2nd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1896) as an oblong enclosure (c. 65m by c. 20m), its long axis running NE-SW, the SE side of which was by then evidently already defaced. All that is now visible is a low oval hillock (E-W c. 45m, N-S c. 35m, H 0.6m), possibly largely 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).
