On a S-facing slope in grassland. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a roughly oval area defined by a broken line. What is visible is a very poorly preserved originally oval enclosure (E-W c. 75m, N-S c. 60m) defined by a low earthen bank from S through W to N, and by a scarp from N to NE: no visible surface trace survives elsewhere. An ecclesiastical building (GA007-074----) stood within the interior. II - North Galway'.
