What is recorded here
On top of a slight rise. A very poorly preserved originally circular enclosure (D c. 35m). Only a short length of bank, which is round-topped and steep-sided, survives at SW with traces of an external fosse. Elsewhere the enclosing element is not visible. The interior has been quarried into a NW. A modern field wall cuts the monument at NNE and SSW.
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).
