On the summit of a ridge in low- lying grassland. Known locally as 'Lis a Roch' (Neary 1914, 119, no. 27), this well-preserved oval rath (N-S 32m, E-W 23.5m) is defined by a scarp, intervening fosse and outer bank; the latter is overlain by a field wall from W through N to SE. There is an entrance gap (Wth 6m) at SW.
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).
