On a ridge in grassland. Subcircular rath (NNW-SSE 39.6m, E-W 37.6m), in fair condition, defined by a bank at N and S, and elsewhere by a scarp. Quarrying has encroached upon the monument at SW and at N. Possible entrance at S. According to local information, there is a 'cave' (possible souterrain) within SE quadrant of the interior. It was blocked up to prevent cattle from falling into it. No visible surface trace 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).
