Recorded monuments
- GA095-001001 Ringfort - cashel
Description
On a slight rise in recently cleared scrubland. When initially visited by the Survey in December 1982, this fairly well-preserved circular cashel (diam. 38.2m) was defined by a drystone wall. Within NW quadrant of the interior lay a rectangular house site (GA095-001003-). Traces of internal dividing walls were evident at E and W. McCaffrey (1952, 125, no. 50) noted another rectangular structure (GA095-001004-) abutting the cashel wall at S as well as a semicircular wall (L c. 40m) immediately to the E of the cashel. This wall partly enclosed a ‘souterrain’ (GA095-001002-) and a ‘house site’ (GA095-001005-). Another ‘house site’ (GA095-001006-) was visible c. 15m to N of the wall. No visible surface trace of these features was noted. The cashel was bulldozed in 1991. (Redington 1912a, 172; Topgr. Files, National Monuments Service) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 12 October 2016
- GA095-001002 Souterrain
Description
In reclaimed pastureland; this souterrain is c. 45m to the ENE of a cashel (GA095-001002-). On inspection in April 1967 some of the roof lintels had been robbed out and the interior was filled solidly with field-clearance stones. This may be the souterrain recorded by McCaffrey (1952, 125, no. 50). Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 25 October 2019
