• GA103-044 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle rise in farmland. Poorly preserved oval rath (42m NNW-SSE) defined by a bank of earth and stone from SSW through N to E. No visible surface trace survives from E to SSW. (McCaffrey 1952, 184, no. 84) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 5 January 2017

• GA103-045 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a hillock in farmland. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (39.2m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall overlain by a field boundary. A gap (Wth 2m) at S may be modern. There is a blocked-up souterrain (GA103-045001-) in the NE quadrant of the interior. (McCaffrey 1952, 183, no. 81) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 5 January 2017

• GA103-045001 Souterrain
  Description

  Within the NE quadrant of a cashel (GA103-045----). This blocked-up souterrain (L >4.5m) runs N-S. One partially uncovered roof lintel at S marks the entrance point. (McCaffrey 1952, 183, no. 81) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 5 January 2017

• GA103-047 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a gentle rise in farmland. Shown on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a large roughly oval enclosure (c. 53m NE-SW; c. 31m NW-SE). Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 184, no. 83) as a circular ‘Stone fort’ (overall diam. c. 23m), the wall of which was ‘ruined to the foundation’. The monument is almost completely destroyed and all that survives is a section of a double-faced wall at S. There is a souterrain (GA103-047001-) in the N sector of the interior. McCaffrey (ibid.) refers to a house site (GA103-047002-) but no trace of it survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 5 January 2017

• GA103-047001 Souterrain
  Description

  Within the N sector of the interior of a cashel (GA103-047----). This souterrain has been blocked up and is inaccessible. A roof lintel is visible and it suggests that the passage or chamber runs ENE-WSW. (McCaffrey 1952, 184, no. 83) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 5 January 2017

• GA103-047002 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  Within the interior of a cashel (GA103-047001-). McCaffrey (1952, 184, no. 83) recorded a circular house site (overall diam. c. 8.5m) but no trace of it survives. A souterrain (5784) lies in N sector. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 5 January 2017

• GA103-048001 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In pastureland on the W edge of a turlough. When originally visited in December 1982, this well-preserved fulacht fiadh (diam. 11.1m) consisted of a low grassed-over circular mound with a central depression opening out to the W. Burnt and cracked stones were evident. Three small irregular mounds visible immediately to the NNE and one to the SSE may have been part of the monument as they also contained burnt earth and limestone. Further to the E, within the turlough, another possible fulacht fiadh (GA103-048003-) was visible. On re-inspection in June 1992 no visible surface trace was visible. A holy well (GA103-048002-) lies c. 60m to the NNW. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 November 2019

• GA103-048002 Well
  Description

  In pastureland prone to flooding from a turlough. Named 'Toberlissagunna' on the OS 6-inch maps, this well is defined by a roughly circular drystone wall (1.55m N-S; 1.2m E-W) opening to the WNW. On the day of inspection it was submerged below the waters of the turlough. The well was most likely named after the cashel 'Caherlissagunna' (GA103-047----) which was located c. 85m to the NW. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 18 November 2019

• GA103-048003 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In pastureland. When originally visited in December 1982, this possible fulacht fia was visible as a small irregular mound within a turlough lake. Black earth and burnt cracked limestone were evident. Another fulacht fia (GA103-048001-) was visible on the W edge of the lake. On re-inspection in June 1992 the turlough was still risen but no visible trace of the mound was evident. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 November 2019

• GA103-048004 Earthwork
  Description

  In pastureland to the SW of a turlough. On inspection in December 1982 earthworks were noted to the S of the fulacht fia (GA103-048001-). One was square-shaped in plan and defined by grassed-over walls. On re-inspection in June 1992 the field was planted with oats and no visible surface traces survived.
