Depicted as a small hachured enclosure (int. diam. c. 8m) on the 1839 edition of the OS 6-inch map and on the OS 1:2500 plan (surveyed 1912-16). No trace of it survives. It was located on a hillock that has been quarried out to a depth of c. 10m. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 17 November 2014 - GA096-016001: Moated site, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA096-016001-. In low-lying marshy pastureland. This subrectangular moated site (36m NW-SE; 34.5m NE-SW), in fair condition, is defined by two overgrown banks and an intervening fosse. A NW-SE flowing stream runs through the fosse on the NE side. The interior is level but at N a slightly raised area (21m NW-SE; 11m NE-SW) is delimited by two stretches of a two low earthen bank. Two possible fulachta fia (GA096-016002- and GA096-017----) lie c. 40m to the NE and c. 95m to the SE respectively. (Cody 1989, 322-4, no. 142) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 2 December 2019 - GA096-016002: Fulacht fia, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA096-016002-. In low-lying pastureland. A low grassed-over crescentic mound of earth (8m N-S; 6m E-W; H 0.6m) with a central hollow (2m E-W; c. 1.5m N-S) opening to W may be the remains of a possible fulacht fia. No burnt stone was evident so it may possibly be a pile of upcast associated with the digging of nearby drainage ditches; one drain cuts across the N end of it. There is a moated site c. 45m to the SW and another possible fulacht fia c. 135m to the SSE.

In marshy low-lying pastureland. Recorded by Cody (1989, 157, no. 13) and described as a roughly circular slightly raised area (diam. c. 10m) with a scatter of burnt stone on its surface, suggesting that it might be a largely levelled fulacht fia. No visible surface trace survives. Another fulacht fia (GA096-016002-) lies c. 135m to the NNW.
