On a hillock in grassland, Slieve Dart rises to NW. Poorly preserved oval rath (NNW-SSE 53m, WNW-ESE c. 37m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse best preserved from NE to E. Ploughing and bulldozing have disturbed the enclosing elements elsewhere. A gap at W appears modern. Neary (1914, 117, no. 57)
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).
