In gently undulating grassland. Poorly preserved irregular enclosure (E-W >116m, N-S 115m) defined by an inner bank, intervening fosse and outer bank. The monument is cut from N to S by the Ahascragh-Ballygar road and no visible surface trace survives to W of it. The inner bank survives from N through E to SSE and is best preserved from ESE to SSE: a large pit lies immediately outside it in this sector. The fosse and outer bank survive from N to NE. There are a number of low banks in the interior, possibly representing internal divisions, and a modern field wall cuts through S half on a SE-SW axis. A private burial ground (GA047-017002-) overlies the inner bank at SE. This monument also extends on to OS sheet 46 (GA046-033----).
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).
