On a slight rise in low-lying pastureland. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1930) as a circular enclosure (D c. 30m), and known locally as a 'lios'. Called 'Mc Hugh's Fort' by Neary (1914, 120, no. 13) and described by him as a 'Circular, earthen fort [with a] border of simplest design. The bank, rampart and ditch have disappeared, and only the garth remains, somewhat convex in form'. Apart from a curving band of vegetation, no visible surface trace survives.
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).
