On low lying improved pasture c. 150m E of sand-dunes and 0.8km E of the sea. Indicated and named ‘Killamurroogh Graveyard’ on the 1840 and 1915 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. A roughly rectangular area (c. 40m ENE-WSW; c. 30m NNW-SSE) defined along its SE side by a modern field wall, along its NE and NW sides by field clearance material and by a low scarp along its SW side. The interior is overgrown and uneven underfoot. There are no obvious grave markers and no church is visible.

A large uncleared area stretching N from the Caher River for c. 1km. Several discrete ancient field systems (CL001-025----, CL001-026----, CL001-027----, CL001-029----) occur within this large area as well as several enclosures (CL001-008----, CL001-028----, CL001-030---- to CL001-032----). Much of what connects these sites are linear strip fields orientated NNE-SSW and while these may be of post-medieval date they appear to predate the 1842 OS map and there are very likely older elements.

- CL002-001: Cairn - burial cairn, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL002-001----. Situated on bare karst pavement on the summit (OD 1041’) of Carnseefin Mountain, overlooking Galway Bay and with extensive views in all directions. Marked and named ‘Doughbranneen’ on the 1842 and 1915 eds. of the OS 6-inch maps and named ‘Dobhach Bhrainín’ on Robinson’s map (1977). Along with the Cairn named ‘Carnsefein’ (Carn Suí Finn) c. 470m NNE, on a lower OD (726’), the name suggests that it formed a focus for Fianna myths, which may have played an important role in medieval political discourse (Fitzpatrick and Hennessy 2017). Westropp (1901, 7) recorded it as nearly levelled but it remains an imposing structure. The cairn consists of two distinct elements, an earlier terraced and potentially multi-phased cairn, on top of which is a later smaller cairn. Both cairns have undergone restoration and consolidation works, the earlier cairn by Aegis Archaeology (Coyne and Lynch 2017a and b) and the later trigonometrical station by Earthstone (Curran 2017). The earlier cairn is roughly circular (18.3m E–W x 19.6m N–S; max H c. 2.5m) and built of limestone stones and slabs of varying sizes (Coyne and Lynch 2017a and b). Slippage of the cairn has likely enlarged the area it covers (original est. diam. c. 14m). Remnants of a possible kerb (stones max. dims. L 1.75m; H 0.4m; T 0.08m), potentially facing a revetment, are visible from W–S. Elsewhere the outer edge is covered by slippage. A series of internal revetments, that may have formed terraces, are also occasionally visible. From W, the outer kerb (av. H 0.4m) retains a flat terrace (Wth 0.8m). From there, a second revetment, a drystone wall (H 0.3m), rises to a second flat terrace (Wth 1.4m). Above this a third revetment, another drystone wall (H 0.35m), rises to retain the top of the cairn. Stone slippage gathered from the SW and E has been replaced on the cairn (Coyne and Lynch 2017b). The later cairn (H 1.55m; diam. at base 2.5m) is of drystone construction and centrally placed on top of the earlier cairn. In 2017 (Curran 2017), it underwent extensive conservation. The earlier cairn is likely a burial cairn of prehistoric date, originally of Neolithic or Bronze Age date. The various revetments likely represent a series of subsequent enlargements or ‘wrapping events’ (cf Richards 2013), added when encompassing new burials, as was the case at Poulawack cairn (CL009-032018-) (Hencken and Movius 1935; Brindley and Lanting 1992) and some cairns surrounding wedge tombs (Ó Maoldúin 2015). These may have provided terraces, as proposed by the conservation team (Coyne and Lynch 2017a and b), or may originally have been the full height of the monument, as is evident at Turlough Hill cairn (CL006-017002-) and for some internal revetments at Slievecarran cairn (CL006-022----) and as revealed by excavation in Poulawack (Hencken and Movius 1935). The smaller later cairn is likely a 19th-century trigonometrical station as indicated on the 1842 ed. map. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Ros Ó Maoldúin Date of upload: 2 December 2020

Situated in a remote level terrace on a S-facing slope with bare rock outcrop and scree upslope to N and downslope to S. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). An enclosure is marked on Tim Robinson's map of the Burren (1977). On inspection in 1997 this was found to be a small well-preserved field (c. 28m E-W; c. 18m N-S) defined by a single drystone wall of modern construction. The enclosure sits within a field system (CL002-003001-) that is likely to have medieval or prehistoric elements. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 30 November 2015

Situated on a small, level plateau on the SW slopes of Gleninagh Mountain. Listed as ‘Enclosure complex’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). An enclosure is marked on Tim Robinson's map of the Burren (1977). On inspection in 1997 this was found to be a small subrectangular field (26m E-W; 28m N-S) in poor condition defined by a single drystone wall.

Listed as ‘Field system’ in the RMP (1996). A possible field system was noted here in 1996 (pers. comm. Christine Grant). A number of field walls, mostly aligned NNE-SSW are visible on aerial photographs (http://binged.it/1P6Abo3; accessed 12 January 2016). Some of these are clearly in association with turf stands (CL002-071002-), of which there are a large number, and they may be related in terms of their date.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
