Some 120m SE of a similar earthwork (GA017-039----). A circular earthen grassed-over round-topped mound (D 24m, H 2m), the NW section of which has been quarried out.

Some 40m SW of a similar earthwork (GA017-040----). An oval-shaped grassed-over round-topped mound of earth (N-S 19m, E-W 12m, H 1m) in fair condition. A drain runs past immediately to S.

On S bank of a stream in a shallow alluvial valley. Well-preserved conjoined moated site consisting of: (a) a rectangular enclosure (NNW-SSE 50m, NNE-SSW 22.5m) defined by two banks/scarps and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is visible only on NW side elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse and outer bank are clearly visible but material dredged from the stream has been piled up on the outer bank along NE side. Traces of a dried-up stream bed are visible to E, suggesting that the stream may formerly have been diverted into the fosse. However, a possible leat is also visible at N corner. (b) Adjoining this monument at WSW is a roughly D-shaped enclosure (N-S 41.5m, E-W 34m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The outer bank survives only from NW to NE. At NE, a leat defined by two earthen banks runs NW to the stream. The interior contains a C-shaped grassed-over structure of earth and stone (L 5m, Wth 3m); possibly the remains of a house. A field boundary cuts the monument at NE and SE. (Neary 1914, 122, no. 128) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

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.
