In low-lying grassland. Subcircular rath (39m N-S; 37m E-W), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse; the latter survives from NNE to SSE, and from SW to NNW. The outer bank is extant only from SW to NNW. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 11 October 2016
