In grassland. Well-preserved subcircular rath (E-W 35m, N-S 33m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is stone-faced internally. There is a well-defined entrance gap (Wth 2.3m) at ESE. A band of field-clearance rubble is piled up against the outer bank from WSW through W to N. A field wall overlies this bank at S. Within the interior are a number of randomly placed limestone boulders. A few fields to N, the landowner discovered a number of 'small human bones' while digging a trench: not located.
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).
