In SW quadrant of a ringfort (GA016-115----). What is visible is a large regular grassy rectangular flat-bottomed hollow (L 20m, Wth 10.3m), running NW-SE, situated immediately inside the scarp defining the monument. It is up to 1.45m in depth. At its NW end, an entrance-like gap opens through the face of the scarp. A considerable amount of stone is visible in the sides of the depression but no structural remains. Possibly a souterrain or a quarry pit.
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).
