On summit of a circular hillock with bogland to N. A very poorly preserved oval platform (E-W 60m, N-S 50m) (GA073-073001-) defined by a scarp. A castle (GA073-073003-) is associated. There is also a local tradition of a 'cave' (possible souterrain, GA073-073002-) but no visible surface trace of it survives.
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).

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
