Recorded monuments

• GA057-028 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a low hill in grassland. A large oval rath (NW-SE c. 65m) defined by a well-preserved stone-faced earthen bank and external fosse; the latter is visible from SSE through W to N. There is a well-defined entrance (Wth 2.3m) at SSE. A souterrain (GA057-028001-) and CBG (GA057-028002-) lie within the interior. (Killanin and Duignan 1967, 447-8) 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

• GA057-028001 Souterrain
  Description

  Within W half of a ringfort (GA057-028----). A plan of this souterrain drawn up by Costello (1902b, 114-15) indicates that it consists of four chambers linked by three creeps. Killanin and Duignan (1967, 449) refer to three chambers. Only two are now evident. Access to both is via a gap in the roof. The 1st chamber (L 11.65m, Wth c. 1.9m), which lies inside W limits of the bank of the ringfort, runs NNW-SSE and a creep is visible at NNW end. The 2nd chamber (L c. 10.4m) lies just NNW of the centre. It also runs NNW-SSE and a creep extends off N end of SSW wall. The SSE end, beyond the gap, is almost completely filled in. Access beyond both creeps was impossible. 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

• GA057-028002 Children's burial ground
  Description

  Within a ringfort (GA057-028----). The use of the interior of the monument as a CBG was noted by Killanin and Duignan (1967, 447-8) and is also known locally. No visible surface trace survives.

• GA057-029 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On an E-facing slope in grassland. Known locally as 'Lisheen' and said to contain a CBG (GA057-029001-). This poorly preserved subcircular cashel (E-W 38.2m) (GA057-029----) is defined by a collapsed drystone wall from NNE through S to WNW, and elsewhere by a scarp. Radiating from the cashel wall at NW is a curving bank of earth and stone (L 26m); possibly associated. Within S half of interior is a circular structure (D 3.4m) defined by a grassed-over stone wall; probably a house (GA057-029002-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
