At the base of Checker Hill in gently rolling grassland. Known locally as 'Murphy's Fort' (Neary 1914, 120, no. 11), this originally circular rath (D c. 31m) is now cut by a field wall at E and W. To N of the wall, a scarp overlain by a field wall forms the enclosing element; no visible surface trace survives to S of it.
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).
