On a hummock in low-lying marshland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 30m) and on 3rd ed. (1946) as on oval enclosure (c. 35m) by c. 25m) flanked at E by an annexe-like appendage. What is visible are two contiguous platforms (18m by > 15m and 38m by 23.4m) around which are a series of irregular field banks and some patches of tillage ridges. While the map designations are indicative of a ringfort, the visible remains are probably tillage plots.
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).
