What makes this site quietly unusual is its conjoined plan: two separate raths sharing the same general footprint, a configuration less common than the single enclosed farmstead that typifies the ringfort tradition across Ireland.

A rath is an early medieval enclosed settlement, typically circular, defined by one or more earthen banks and, on the outer side, a corresponding ditch called a fosse. Here, the western enclosure measures roughly 29 metres across and retains its bank and external fosse most clearly along its southern and south-western arc. The eastern enclosure, somewhat larger at around 35 metres in diameter, is defined by a bank but appears to have lost or never possessed a corresponding fosse, at least none that survives legibly. The site was documented by Claffey in 1983 and later included in the archaeological inventory of north Galway compiled in the late 1990s. Whether the two enclosures were contemporary, or whether one was added to an existing single rath as a household expanded or land use changed, is not recorded, and the overgrown condition of the earthworks makes surface reading difficult.
