What is recorded here
On a NE-facing slope in grassland overlooking bogland to S. Subcircular enclosure (NW-SE 107.6m), in fair condition, defined by an earthen bank and external fosse. No visible surface trace survives from NNW through N to E. A field bank cuts the monument at N and ENE and also mirrors the line of the enclosure from ENE to WSW. Gaps at E, SSW and W appear to be modern. There is a CBG (GA029-013002-) in the interior.
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).
