What is recorded here
On the summit of a low headland on E shore of Lough Corrib. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a small circular hachured enclosure (D c. 30m) and on 3rd ed. (1922) as a subcircular area defined by a field boundary. What survives is an overgrown subcircular area (NE-SW 22.3m) enclosed by a fairly wide but modern-looking drystone wall (Wth 1.35m) with an entrance at SE. This may overlie an older wall as evidenced by a line of collapsed stone visible beneath it internally.
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).
