What is recorded here
Near the summit of a hill in rolling pastureland. Described by Neary (1914, 122, no. 133) as a 'circular, earthen fort, but only the outline remains'; it was known locally as 'Killeen Fort'. A poorly preserved square platform (E-W 32m) defined by a denuded scarp survives.
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).
