On a SW-facing slope of a prominent rise in grassland. Well-preserved subcircular ringfort (N-S 50.5m, E-W 47.5m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank has evidence of stone-facing on its inner face at SE. The td. boundary overlies the outer bank from NNW through N to SE. Both banks are cut by a number of cattle gaps. 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). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
