Spread across an area of roughly 400 metres east to west and 350 metres north to south, a series of collapsed field walls lies beneath the turf, their outlines softened by centuries of grass growth but still traceable as low, uneven ridges. Alongside them are the remains of two small houses, each around eight metres long and five metres wide, now little more than grassy humps in the ground.

The field system sits some 200 metres to the south-west of a tower house, the kind of fortified stone residence built by Gaelic and Anglo-Norman landowners across Ireland between roughly the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries. The proximity of organised agricultural land to such a structure is characteristic of the period: tower houses rarely stood alone but were typically the focal point of a working rural economy, surrounded by the farmed fields and modest dwellings of dependent households. Here, that relationship between the defended residence and its surrounding landscape can still be read, if quietly, in the ground itself. The site was recorded in the Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II, compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra, and Paul Gosling and published in 1999.
