On a S-facing slope in grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (E-W c. 43m, N-S c. 40m) defined by a scarp and external fosse. No visible surface trace survives from W to N where quarrying has encroached upon the monument. According to local information, there was a 'tunnel' (possible souterrain) within the interior, beneath a large limestone slab. No visible surface trace survives.
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).
