An oval rath, roughly 31 metres east to west and 24 metres north to south, sits on the western end of a ridge in County Galway, and the greater part of it has been reduced to a wide gravelly scar in the earth. A rath is an early medieval enclosed settlement, typically defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches that once ringed a farmstead or small estate. Here, a modern field boundary running north to south has cut directly through the monument, and everything to the east of that line has been levelled, leaving only the faint trace of what may have been one or two concentric banks.

To the west of the field boundary, the picture improves marginally. An arc of bank still curves from the south-southwest through west to north-northwest, and just beyond it a further surface scar hints at the former line of an outer bank, suggesting the enclosure may once have had at least two defensive or boundary rings. What makes the site quietly interesting is less what remains than where it sits: just 140 metres to the north-northwest lies another ringfort entirely, a proximity that points to a settled, organised landscape in this part of North Galway during the early medieval period, when such enclosures were the standard unit of rural life across Ireland.
