Recorded monuments

• GA104-051 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle N-facing slope in pastureland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 23.6m) defined by a bank. A field wall cuts the monument at NNW and NNE. McCaffrey (1952, 215, no. 32) noted traces of an external fosse at S but no visible surface trace of it survives. There is a large depression (11m E-W; 3m N-S) in the SE quadrant of the interior.

• GA104-052 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rolling pastureland, a stream lies immediately to the SW. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 91.5m ext.) defined by three banks and two intervening fosses. McCaffrey (1952, 215-16, no. 65) noticed traces of stone-facing on the inner faces of the inner and outermost banks. A gap at N may be original as that through the middle bank is defined along its W side by transverse blocks. A field wall cuts across the monument at SE and SW and field-clearance rubble has been piled into the inner fosse. The railway line has destroyed the outer bank from SW to NW. There is a souterrain (GA104-052001-) in the S half of the interior. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 January 2017

• GA104-052001 Souterrain
  Description

  Within the S half of a multivallate rath (GA104-052----). This well-preserved rectangular drystone-built souterrain consists of a chamber (L 9.9m; Wth 1.1m; H 1.2m), running NNW-SSE, in the SE quadrant of the interior of the rath. Access is gained at its SSE end. An air-vent is evident in the NNW end wall and a small recess is visible at the N end of the E wall. In the SW quadrant, an inaccessible passage (L c. 8.8m; Wth 1.9m) runs N-S. The present entrance at its S end is now blocked. These two sections probably form part of the same souterrain.

• GA104-053 Enclosure
  Description

  In pastureland to the W of the old course of a stream. Traces of a rectangular enclosure (50m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by a very low grassed-over bank (Wth 2m; H 0.1-0.15m) are visible along the S, W and N sides. A N-S running field boundary cuts across its E half. The old course of a stream meanders to the E of the boundary. No trace of a fosse was evident and it was unclear whether this was the remains of an enclosure or a small field. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 1 August 2019

• GA104-054 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  On a S-facing slope in pastureland. Named 'Lisheen' on the OS 6-inch maps, this roughly circular ring-barrow (diam. c. 20m; H 0.82m) comprises a central mound (diam. c. 4m) encircled by a fosse and external bank. A field wall overlies the bank from E through S to W. Gaps at N and S are modern.
