In a field of rock outcrop c. 150m S of Cummer Castle (GA043-070----). Large poorly preserved D-shaped enclosure (WNW-ESE 44m, NNE-SSW 39m) defined by a low bank of earth and stone from SSE through W to NNE. A gap is visible from NNE to ENE, and from ENE to SSE only the collapsed foundation lines of the enclosing element survive. A low bank running N-S, possibly original, divides the interior. Within the interior at E, a rectangular house (N-S; L 7.9m, Wth 3.6m), defined by a grassed-over bank of earth and stone, abuts the bank. Circa 8m to S are the grassed-over foundations of another house (NE-SW; L 14.5m, Wth 7m).
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).
