On S-facing slope of a ridge in grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 63m, E-W 60m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank survives from N through S to WNW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The outer bank is extant from NE through E to SSE, and is overlain by a field wall at ESE. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere. A gap at S appears modern Two ringforts (GA029-121----, GA029-123----) lie c. 20m to N and c. 150m to ESE respectively.
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).
