Recorded monuments

• GA076-001 Castle - tower house
  Description

  At the head of a small tidal estuary close to the mouth of Cuainín na hAirde. The remains of a small jetty lie close by to SE. In existence in 1574 when it was in the possession of 'Tege na Buly' O'Flaherty (Nolan 1901, 116). Fragments of E and N walls (>10.15m by >15.80m) of what was probably a tower house survive. The E wall (Wth 1m, H 5m max.) contains a crude single-light window and has a rectangular recess in its W face. The possible foundations of a bawn wall are visible to SW.
