Circa 100m W of a ringfort (GA030-081----). Poorly preserved subcircular ringfort (E-W 41m, N-S 39m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is present from SE through W to N and is overlain by a field wall from SE to SW. A scarp forms the enclosing element from N to SE. Traces of outer stone-facing survive at S. The fosse and outer bank are visible intermittently throughout. Within the interior is a subrectangular mound of earth and stone (N-S; L 7m, Wth 6m) with a central depression (D 2m), probably a house.
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).
