Sitting in level grassland within the Belleville Demesne in County Galway, this subcircular rath measures roughly 37 metres east to west and 32 metres north to south, its outline traced by a low enclosing bank. A rath is the most common form of ringfort in Ireland, typically a circular or near-circular enclosure defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches, used as a farmstead and place of security during the early medieval period. This one survives in fair condition, which is itself something of an achievement given how many such earthworks have been lost to agriculture and development over the centuries.

A gap on the eastern side of the bank is thought to be modern rather than original, though it may still follow the line of an entrance that was always in roughly that position. More intriguing is the proximity of a second ringfort, recorded separately, sitting approximately 200 metres to the west. Paired or clustered ringforts are not unheard of across the Irish landscape, and their presence together can suggest family groupings, successive occupation phases, or simply the long-term attractiveness of a particular patch of ground. Whether these two enclosures were in use at the same time, or represent different generations making use of the same favourable terrain, the notes do not say.
