In gently undulating grassland, Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1946) as an oval enclosure (NW-SE c. 50m, NE-SW c. 35m); all that survives is a tear-shaped area defined by a scarp and much disturbed by quarrying. A shallow depression evident from NNE through E to SE may indicate on external fosse. Traces of a bank are visible beyond a field boundary which lies c. 1m to NW of the enclosure. A series of banks, possibly the result of quarrying, extend off the enclosing element at SE.
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).
