In undulating grassland. Poorly preserved grassed-over subcircular platform (N-S c. 45m, H 0.7m) defined by a scarp save from NW to N where it has been quarried out. Slight traces of an external fosse are evident from WSW to W. Possible stone-facing is visible on the scarp from SE to S and from WSW to W. The interior slopes to S and is extremely uneven with much stone protruding. There is an oval hollow (WSW-ENE 22m, N-S 11m) in S half enclosed by a low bank. Possibly a partially levelled ringfort, but the remains also resemble those of a low revetted mound.
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).
