Recorded monuments

• GA044-015 Field system
  Description

  In the vicinity of Barnaderg Castle (GA044-018----) which lies c. 300m to SE and a cashel (GA044-017----) c. 50m to NE. Aerial reconnaissance in July 1970 (CUCAP K17 W 57-9) showed an extensive series of grassed-over banks. However, those in the vicinity of the castle are likely to be relatively modern drainage trenches. In contrast, those to SW and W of the enclosure form a series of small irregular fields, covering an area c. 200m NE-SW by c. 150m NW-SE, within which some ridge and furrow cultivation is visible. (Norman and St Joseph 1969, 4-5) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

• GA044-016 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On the summit of a knoll, some 450m NW of Barnaderg Castle (GA044-018----). Well-preserved circular rath (D 43.8m) defined by three banks and two intervening fosses. A field wall cuts the monument at SSW. Entrance causeway (Wth 4m) at E. Within the interior is a raised rectangular platform (N-S; L 17m, Wth 14m), within which is an oval hollow (L 9m, Wth 5m), probably an associated house (GA044-016001-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

• GA044-016001 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  Within the SSW sector of the interior of a rath (GA044-016----) is a raised rectangular platform (N-S; L 17m, Wth 14m), within which is an oval hollow (L 9m, Wth 5m) that is probably an associated house (GA044-016001-).

• GA044-017 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In rolling grassland, 250m NW of Barnaderg Castle (GA044-018----). Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1932) as a circular enclosure (D c. 40m). Aerial reconnaissance in July 1970 (CUCAP K17 W 57-9) revealed a low bank in the interior, probably an internal division. Only a low platform now survives as a modern house occupies the monument. A field system (GA044-015----) lies to SW and W.

• GA044-018 Castle - tower house
  Description

  In low-lying marshy land, a stream flows to SW. This poorly preserved rectangular five-storey tower (L 7.8m, Wth 7.3m) was built by 'Melughlin O'Kelly' (Nolan 1901a, 44). It is centrally placed on a raised rectangular platform (N-S 55m, E-W 24m, H 1.5m). The N wall and most of E and W walls survive to their original height but apart from some foundation stones, no trace of S wall survives. The original doorway may have been in S wall or in W wall where a large breach occurs, as traces of the spiral stairs survive at the broken end of this wall. Another robbed-out doorway flanked by two gun loops is visible in N wall. Corbels and beam slots indicate the position of the floors. There is an intramural passage in W wall on 2nd floor. Fireplace occur in E wall on 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors; those on 1st and 3rd floors are blocking a single-light ogee-headed window and a two-light transom and mullioned window respectively. Another fireplace is evident in W wall on 4th floor. The gable on N wall rises inside the parapet as does the chimney stack on W wall. However, that on E wall rises directly from the parapet wall. A string course in visible all round. Corbels which supported machicolations occur on top of each wall. Apart from those mentioned, all the windows have been robbed out and may be later insertions; one on 3rd floor of N wall is blocking an earlier rectangular possible two-light window.

• GA044-019 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Some 300m SW of Barnaderg Castle (GA044-018----). Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1932) as a circular enclosure (D c. 50m). All that survives is an arc of a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 3.5m) from SSW to NW; no visible surface trace survives elsewhere. A field boundary radiates from the monument at NW, and a field wall cuts it at SSW.

• GA044-020 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a knoll in rolling grassland. Oval cashel (E-W c. 35m, N-S c. 20m), in fair condition, defined by two degraded walls and an intervening fosse. No visible surface trace of the fosse or outer wall survive at S. A field wall overlies the outer wall from NW to NNE. A gap (Wth 2.75m) at S may be original. Within the interior are a souterrain (GA044-020001-) and five houses (see GA044-020002- to GA044-020006-).

• GA044-020001 Souterrain
  Description

  In the centre of a ringfort (GA044-020----) on the level summit of the hillock on which it sits. It consists of an L-shaped hollow (L c. 12m), up to 1.25m in depth, with traces of the upper courses of drystone walls protruding from the sod along its sides. The longer arm (L c. 7.5m, Wth 4.75), running NW-SE, possibly represents a robbed chamber. Extending off it at a right angle from its NW end is the shorter arm (L 4.5m, Wth 1.2m) which follows a SW-NE course before ceasing abruptly; possibly a passage. Its continuation may, however, be visible 7.4m downslope to NE where a slight stone-lined hollow (L 6.1m, Wth 1.5m) is visible, running E-W. There is a local tradition of a 'tunnel' running from this ringfort to Barnaderg Castle (GA044-018----), 625m to E.

  One of five houses (see also GA044-020003- to GA044-020006-) within the interior of the cashel (GA044-020----). This example is in the SW quadrant. A level stone-free rectangular area (6.1m E-W; 3.25m N-S) is defined by intermittent lines of boulders, with traces of double wall-facing (wall T 1.3m) along the N and E sides.

  One of five houses (see also GA044-020002- and GA044-020004- to GA044-020006-) within the interior of the cashel (GA044-020----). This example is in the SE quadrant. A small level terrace (5.75m E-W; 3.9m N-S) is defined along the N, or upslope side, by a scarp and on the E and S sides by a single line of boulders. A single boulder indicates the line of the W wall. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

  Description

  One of five houses (see also GA044-020002- to GA044-020003- and GA044-020005- to GA044-020006-) within the interior of the cashel (GA044-020----). This example is on a steep slope in the NE quadrant, close to the souterrain (GA044-020001-), which possibly curves around its NW corner. A sloping area (5.9m E-W; 4.35m N-S) is defined by a double-faced wall that is best preserved along its S side.

• GA044-021 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a S-facing slope in undulating grassland. Very poorly preserved subcircular cashel (E-W 45.3m, N-S 41.2m) defined by a grassed-over drystone wall, overlain by a field wall at S. A grassed-over stone wall, possibly associated, radiates from the monument at NE. Within the interior and abutting the enclosing element are a number of stone structures: (a) to N, oval in plan (E-W 16.2m, N-S 14m), and (b) to S, triangular in plan (L 10m, Wth 8.8m), are probably internal divisions; while (c) to W, D-shaped (L 7.2m, Wth 5.7m) is probably a house (see GA044-021001-).
