In level pastureland, formerly demesne land. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a circular tree-planted enclosure. The visible remains comprise a large well-preserved circular enclosure (D 51m) defined by a flat-topped regular bank (H 1.8m) and a shallow external fosse (Wth 1.8m). A number of gaps are present but that at SW (Wth 4m) is probably the original entrance. Mature sycamore and ash trees grow along the bank. Probably a tree-ring, but the possibility of it being a landscaped ringfort cannot be ruled out.
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).
