On a S-facing slope in grassland. Known locally as 'Hernon's Cahir' (Neary 1914, 121, no. 71), this poorly preserved subcircular ringfort (N-S 32m, E-W 29m) is defined by a stone-faced bank. A gap at S, though modern, may have given original access. Overlooked by a ringfort (GA005-100----) which lies c. 140m to NE.
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).
