In grassland. Known locally as 'Lios-an-fine', this poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 45m, E-W c. 40m) is defined by a scarp and external fosse. A field bank cuts the monument at SE and SSW. According to local tradition, there was a 'cave' (possible souterrain) within the interior 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).
