On a ridge in undulating grassland. A roughly circular steep-sided earthen mound (D c. 21m, H 2.5m), in fair condition, surrounded by a fosse. The latter is best preserved from S to NNW but is only barely visible elsewhere. On the flat summit are traces of a subcircular structure (D c. 2.6m) defined by a grassed-over stone wall. A hollow (D c. 1.6m) in its interior may be due to recent disturbance. Possibly a barrow or a folly/landscape feature.
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).
