In flat grassland. Poorly preserved and partially tree-covered subcircular rath (N-S 72m, E-W 68m: crest to crest outer bank) defined by three banks and three fosses. The inner bank and inner fosse survive clearly from NW through N to SE but have been almost levelled elsewhere. The middle bank survives only from NW through N to E, while the middle fosse is clearly visible only from NW to NE. In contrast, the outer bank and outer fosse are traceable for almost their full circumference. Though a number of gaps are visible, none appear to be original. The interior is heavily disturbed, especially in N half where a large pit has been dug.
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).
