On a rise in grassland overlooking bogland to E. This very poorly preserved circular rath (D c. 40m), known locally as 'Lisvalleybrinoge' (Neary 1914, 113, no. 121), is defined by a scarp, intervening fosse and outer bank. The outer bank is present from NW through N to NE and is overlain by a field boundary. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
