On a rise in undulating grassland. Known locally as 'Lyon's Fort' (Neary 1914, 123, no. 146), this poorly preserved circular rath (D c. 52m) is defined by a scarp, intervening fosse and outer bank. A gap at SW appears modern. A field bank cuts the monument at N and E, and no visible surface trace of the enclosing elements survives to NE of it.
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).
