On a W-facing slope in grassland. This poorly preserved subcircular rath (E-W 77m) came to light during aerial reconnaissance in September 1984 (ASGAP Roll 166:5). It is defined by a degraded scarp, intervening fosse and outer bank from NE through S to NW. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere. A number of field walls radiate from the monument.
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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
