What is recorded here
On a small promontory overlooking mouth of Clifden Bay to S. Level triangular area (35m by 30m max.) defined by a well-preserved inner bank (Wth 6.7m, H 3.2m max.), a steep-sided, flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 4-7m), and a poorly preserved outer bank (Wth 3.5m, H 0.8m). No trace exists of an entrance through the inner bank and a large gap in outer may be modern.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
