In level grassland overlooking bogland to S. Well-preserved subcircular rath (E-W 52m, N-S 50.5m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank survives from SE through S to SW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The outer bank survives only from SSE through S to SW. A field bank cuts the monument at NE and SE, to E of which no visible surface trace survives.
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).
