In undulating grassland. Heavily overgrown roughly circular cashel (D c. 40m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall from W through N to S. Field-clearance rubble has obscured much of the enclosing element. A gap (Wth 3.1m) at SE may be original. In NW sector of the interior, a rectangular structure (L 7m), defined by a grassed-over stone wall, may be associated or related to a 'leacht' which the landowner said was located in this area. 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

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

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.
