On the summit of a hill in undulating grassland. According to Neary (1914, 118, no. 35), it is known as 'Woodbed Rath'. It consists of a well-preserved circular rath (D c. 30m) defined by three earthen stone-lined banks and two intervening fosses. There is a well-defined entrance (Wth 4.5m) at NE and a prabable souterrain (GA005-071001-) in the interior.
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).
