Recorded in the mid-twentieth century as a roughly rectangular stone enclosure, approximately 22 metres by 21 metres, it sits in scrubland in County Galway and belongs to a category of drystone-walled fort, sometimes called a cashel, that was once a common feature of early medieval farming and settlement across the west of Ireland. The rectangular plan sets it apart from the great majority of such enclosures, which follow a more conventional round or oval form.

When McCaffrey catalogued the site in 1952, there was still enough visible to record in some detail. The enclosing drystone wall was legible, and on the eastern side an entrance gap roughly 1.6 metres wide survived, flanked by upright stones, a feature typical of cashel entrances of this type. Inside the enclosure, a structure measuring approximately 8.5 metres by 5.8 metres was noted, likely the footprint of a building once used for habitation or storage. There was also a raised platform within the interior. Today, almost none of this is visible at ground level. The scrubland has reclaimed the site to the point where only faint traces of that platform remain to suggest anything ever stood here.
