On a gentle W-facing slope. Poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (NE-SW 55m, NW-SE 40m) defined by a collapsed stony bank overgrown with hazel and briars. A gap at SW appears to be modern. The interior is uneven and is lower than the exterior. There is a large depression in NE quadrant which extends out beyond the enclosing bank.
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).
