On an E-facing slope in grassland overlooking bogland to SW. On inspection in June 1984, this subcircular rath (N-S 35.5m, E-W 33m) , known locally as 'Lisduff' (Neary 1914, 117, no. 3), was defined by an overgrown bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.2m) with traces of an external fosse surviving only at SW. A gap (Wth 2m) at NE may have been original. On re-inspection in January 2010, it was found that the rath had been completely levelled.
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).
