In level farmland. Well-preserved subcircular rath (33m E-W; 28m N-S) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The fosse survives from WNW to N, and from SSE to S. The outer bank is only evident from W to N. A gap (Wth 2m) at SSE may be original. There is a souterrain (GA122-001001-) in the NNW sector of the fosse. As this is the only known archaeological monument in the townland, it may well be the site referred to by Fahey (1901, 230) as the ‘chief residence’ of the O'Drinan's, an important medieval legal family in south Galway.
