On an E-facing slope in former demesne land. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a roughly subcircular tree-planted enclosure (c. 55m by c. 45m) delimited by a solid line. Described in 1980 as 'a roughly circular monument, very poorly preserved, outlined by remains of a very low broken down wall. … [It] measures approx. 38m N.W.-S.E. … On East, N.E. & S.E. the wall is set on a low scarp while there is a shallow fosse outside on North, West & S.W.' (Topgr. Files, OPW). No visible surface trace 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). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
