In flat marshy land, 30m E of Cloonboo Castle (GA069-013001-). A rectangular enclosure (NW-SE 94m, NE-SW 67m max.), in fair condition, defined by a silted up fosse (Wth 1.4m) and an external earthen bank (Wth 3m, H 1.2m). The bank is overlain along E, S and W sides by later field walls. A gap (Wth 6.5m) at NE, though modern in appearance, may mark the site of the original entrance. The interior is flat and is now subdivided into three by later field walls.
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).
