On a rise in low-lying grassland overlooking bogland from N through E to SW. Known locally as 'Flattery's Fort' (Neary 1914, 114, no. 99), this subcircular rath (N-S 36m, E-W 30.5m) is defined by two fairly well-preserved banks and an intervening fosse. The outer bank is present from W to N, and from SE to S where it is overlain by a field bank. A trackway cuts the monument at NNW and SSE. Adjoining it at SW is a subcircular enclosure (E-W 36.5m, N-S 35m) defined by an earthen bank, it may be associated.
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).
