What is recorded here
On a ridge in undulating grassland. Very poorly preserved oval enclosure (N-S 26.1m, E-W 19.6m) defined by a scarp from SW through W to N. The E limits may have followed the natural slope of the ridge. Faint traces of an external fosse exist at S and also a possible causeway. A field wall encroaches upon the monument at W, and collapsed stone at this point obscures traces of the enclosing element. A ringfort (GA042-134----) lies 80m to S.
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).
