In low-lying level grassland, overlooked by Knockmaa to SE. Poorly preserved irregular enclosure (NE-SW 52.6m, NW-SE 42.4m) defined by a bank of earth and stone, except from NW through N to NE where a field wall, following a roughly ENE-WSW axis, cuts the monument. Within the interior are a number of mounds and hollows, including the outline of two possible rectangular houses: according to local tradition, this was the site of a number of pre-famine houses.
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).
