In grassland within Blindwell Demesne. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a D-shaped tree-planted enclosure. What is visible is a poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (E-W 29m) defined by a low round-topped curving earthen bank (Wth 2.8m, H 0.35m) and an external fosse (Wth 1.8m). These are visible from E through S to W, but appear to have been truncated along N side where a straight drainage trench forms the enclosing element. Possibly a landscape feature, but its morphology suggests that it could be a landscaped ringfort.
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).
