On a ridge in level grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (53m NNE-SSW) defined by a collapsed drystone wall which is obscured by dense overgrowth. A field boundary cuts across the SW quadrant of the interior. Gaps at NE and ENE appear to be modern. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 9 January 2017
- GA128-027: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA128-027----. On a low rise in grassland. Well-preserved roughly circular cashel (diam. 29.6m) defined by two grass-covered drystone walls and an intervening fosse. There is a causewayed entrance gap (Wth 1.6m) at E. At SSW a curving grass-covered stone wall (L c. 10m) abuts the outer enclosing element. A souterrain (GA128-027----) lies in the SW quadrant of the interior. A bullaun stone (GA128-031----), which is traditionally associated with St Patrick, lies c. 50m to the N.

- GA128-027001: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA128-027001-. Within the SW quadrant of a cashel (GA128-027----). This poorly preserved drystone-built souterrain (L >12m) is roughly L-shaped in plan and consists of two passages connected by a creep. Access to the 1st passage (L 5.3m; Wth 1.6m; H 1.2m), which runs NE-SW, is gained at the SW end. A blocked creep (L 1.3m; Wth 0.85m; H 0.4m) is evident near the S end of its E wall, just inside the present access point. The 2nd passage (L 5.4m; Wth 1.6; max. H 1.4m) extends from it in a NW-SE direction and access to it is via a collapsed roof lintel. Possible air vents are evident in the NW corner of the 1st passage and in the W wall of the 2nd one.

In level grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (53m NW-SE; 44m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall. Field-clearance rubble obscures the enclosing element at SW. Several breaches in the wall appear to be modern. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 10 January 2017
- GA128-029: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA128-029----. In reclaimed grassland. Subcircular rath (36m E-W; 31m N-S), in fair condition, defined by two banks of earth and stone and an intervening fosse. There is a well-defined stone-lined entrance gap (Wth 1.5m) at E. From NW through N to NNE a field boundary overlies the outer bank. Within N half of the interior an internal division is indicated by two grass-covered stone walls. A field boundary radiating from the monument at W adjoins another rath (GA128-030----) c. 25m to SW. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 10 January 2017
- GA128-030: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA128-030----. In rough grazing land. This poorly preserved subcircular rath (52m E-W; 50m N-S) is defined by a bank of earth and stone from ESE to S, and by a scarp from NNW through N to NNE. A field boundary overlies the enclosing element elsewhere. A gap (Wth 6m) at E appears to be modern. Field boundaries radiate from the monument at NW and N. Within the interior, two banks of earth and stone indicate internal divisions. Another rath (GA128-029----) lies c. 25m to the NE.

- GA128-032001: Children's burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA128-032001-. On a S-facing slope in grassland. This children's burial ground is defined by an unenclosed rectangular area (L 15m; Wth 9m) within which a number of unworked limestone uprights indicated graves aligned E-W. According to the landowner, the last child was buried there in the 1920s and a penal priest is also reputedly buried there. A holy well (GA128-032001-) lies c. 14m to the SSE and there is a bullaun stone (GA128-031----) c. 180m to the WNW. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 29 August 2019
- GA128-032002: Ritual site - holy well, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA128-032002-. Some 14m to the SSE of a children's burial ground (GA128-032001-). Known locally as St Patrick's Well; on inspection in May 1986 the holy well consisted of a D-shaped spring well (2.2m N-S) enclosed by natural rock outcrop. A wall has subsequently been erected around it (see https://field-monuments.galwaycommunityheritage.org/content/archaeology/field-monuments/childrens-graveyard). The annual pilgrimage was held on August 15th. A bullaun stone (GA128-031----), also associated with St Patrick, lies c. 190m to the WNW.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
