Recorded monuments

• GA058-002001 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  On a slight rise in former demesne lane, 80m W of a stream. A large poorly preserved circular enclosure (D 162m) defined by a degraded earthen bank. Within the interior are the remains of a church (GA058-002----) surrounded by a rectangular graveyard. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010

• GA058-002002 Church
  Description

  Roughly centrally placed within an early ecclesiastical enclosure (GA058-001----). Well-preserved but ivy-mantled rectangular church (NE-SW; L 17m, Wth 7.6m), which in its present form appears to be largely of 18-19th-C date. A pointed arch doorway in SW gable gives access to the interior which is lit by two single-light windows in NW wall. A circular arch in NE gable gives access to a small rectangular apse which is occupied by a plain table tomb aligned NE-SW. The apse is lit by a twin-light pointed arch window complete with glazing bars. The walls survive to almost full height and their internal faces are rendered. Possibly a medieval church refurbished as a mortuary or private chapel. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010 This monument was taken into Ownership under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 - National Monument 278.
