On a hillock in level grassland; known locally as 'Cruchaun na Curra' or 'Hill of the Plain'. A circular enclosure (D 14m), in fair condition, defined by a bank from E through S to SW, and elsewhere by a scarp. From SW through W to NE, an external fosse is extant. A gap at NE may be original. A rectangular enclosure (E-W 3.5m, N-S 1.5m) defined by a grassed-over bank of stone lies within the interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
