What is recorded here

No visible passage survives, though local memory holds that a hollow place once opened beneath the southeast grass of the rath. People blocked it because cattle kept falling in, and that practical fear did more to preserve the story than any measurement. The ridge still stands above the hidden depth, holding its shape in ordinary daylight while the lost passage waits beneath the soil.

On a ridge in grassland. Subcircular rath (NNW-SSE 39.6m, E-W 37.6m), in fair condition, defined by a bank at N and S, and elsewhere by a scarp. Quarrying has encroached upon the monument at SW and at N. Possible entrance at S. According to local information, there is a 'cave' (possible Man-made underground passage) within SE quadrant of the interior. It was blocked up to prevent cattle from falling into it. No visible surface trace survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
