On a rise in undulating grassland. Subcircular ringfort (N-S 42m, E-W 39.5m), in fair condition, cut by a number of field boundaries. It is defined by two stone-revetted banks and an intervening fosse, but the outer bank is present only from NE to SE, and at NW. There is a well-defined entrance (Wth 2m) at SE. Just inside the inner bank at W is a linear nettle-filled hollow (L 8m, Wth 2m) running E-W and up to 1.2m in depth; a possible souterrain. An earthwork (GA005-110----) lies 130m to SE.
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).
