On a rise in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular ringfort (N-S 48.1m, E-W 45.6m) defined by a stone-lined bank from N to E, and by a scarp from ESE to SSW. A gap at NE appears modern. The W half of the monument has been extensively quarried, and a field wall cuts it at SSW and SE. The interior contains a graveyard (GA086-157002-). There is also a possible souterrain, in NW quadrant, indicated by a rectangular nettle-filled hollow (L 10.1m, Wth c. 2.5m) running NNW-SS and averaging 0.7m in depth.
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).
