On a ridge summit in undulating grassland overlooking the Flaskagh River to N. Known locally as 'Higgin's Fort' (Neary 1914, 121, no. 29), this poorly preserved subcircular rath (E-W 34m, N-S 30.5m) is defined by a bank of earth and stone at E and by a scarp elsewhere. A gap (Wth 2.5m) at E may be original. A ringfort (GA005-004----) lies c. 250m to E.
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).
