On the summit of a prominent hillock in gently undulating pastureland. Poorly preserved circular enclosure (D c. 80m) defined by an earthen bank and external fosse. The bank, which is planted with ash trees, is visible from N through E to SSE, while the fosse survives from WSW through N to S. From WSW to N it has been widened deepened and straightened off: A drain at WSW leads S to a small pond. A collapsed field wall runs around its outer edge from N to ESE. Two small gaps in the bank at NNE and NE appear modern. A wall cuts across enclosure from N to S marking both the td. and B. boundaries.
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).
