Recorded monuments

• GA096-036 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a prominent rise in tillage. Circular cashel (diam. 23.2m), in fair condition, defined by a drystone wall much obscured by bushes and field-clearance rubble. A gap at NNW appears to be modern. Redington (1916a, 54-5) refers to a souterrain (GA096-036001-) in N half of the interior and also a possible annexe on W side of the monument. The latter (28.3m x 22.8m) was defined by a 'thick' wall (Wth 2.4-2.7m). No visible surface trace of these features survives.

• GA096-037 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a slope in grassland. Circular cashel (diam. 33.9m), in fair condition, defined by a collapsed drystone wall. Field walls overlie it from N through E to S and field-clearance material has been piled against it at W. A sheep pen has been incorporated into the wall at SE. Redington (1916a, 54) refers two large stone uprights within the interior but no visible surface trace of them survives. There is a souterrain (GA096-037001-) in the NW quadrant. (McCaffrey 1952, 152, no. 76) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 12 January 2017

• GA096-037001 Souterrain
  Description

  Within the NW quadrant of a cashel (GA096-037----). A section of this souterrain collapsed and was subsequently blocked up, as a result it is now inaccessible. However, a torch-light inspection indicated that it consists of a drystone-built chamber (L c. 5m; Wth c. 1m) which runs E-W.
