Recorded monuments

• GA029-018 Graveyard
  Description

  On a S-facing slope in grassland near the NE limits of Tuam town (GA029-199----). Trapezoidal-shaped graveyard (N-S 47m, E-W 36.5m) enclosed by a modern stone wall. Blocked-up entrance in N wall. Within E half of the interior are a number of small uninscribed limestone uprights. In W half, there are three large N-S running ridges with hollows between them; possibly the site of a mass grave from famine times. 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

• GA029-020 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On the summit of a knoll in grassland overlooking marshy terrain to S. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 34m) defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank is present from S to W and at NW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. No visible surface trace of the fosse survives from N to E. A field wall and road encircle the monument from E through S to SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

• GA043-010 Earthwork
  Description

  On a ridge in undulating grassland. A roughly circular steep-sided earthen mound (D c. 21m, H 2.5m), in fair condition, surrounded by a fosse. The latter is best preserved from S to NNW but is only barely visible elsewhere. On the flat summit are traces of a subcircular structure (D c. 2.6m) defined by a grassed-over stone wall. A hollow (D c. 1.6m) in its interior may be due to recent disturbance. Possibly a barrow or a folly/landscape feature.

  Description

  On rise in gently undulating farmland. Well-preserved rectangular area (N-S c. 26m, E-W c. 7m) defined by a scarp, outside of which runs a narrow walkway surrounded by a drystone wall. A large quantity of grave-markers, aligned N-S, are visible. There are three notable graves in NE section: (a) a flat undressed flagstone with two headstones at W end; (b) to NW, a rectangular grave delimited by set stones; and (c) to NE, an inscribed graveslab, bordered by set stones, dedicated to a three-year-old child and dated 1827. The last burial, according to local tradition, was reputedly that of an adult whose inscribed tombstone is dated 1875. This burial resulted in the subsequent closure of the CBG.
