On top of a low knoll in undulating farmland. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (D c. 40m). The monument has been destroyed due to the construction of a silage slab, feeding unit and milking parlour, but a curving modern field wall may overlie the original enclosing element from SE through S to SW. No visible surface trace survives of the 'Cave' (probable souterrain) (GA055-018001-) indicated on OS 6-inch maps near the centre of the monument.
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).
