On a prominent rise in grassland. Poorly preserved oval rath (E-W 38m, N-S 25.5m) defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank survives at NW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. No visible surface trace of the fosse survives at NE. A ringfort (GA016-006----) lies c. 550m to SW. 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). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
