Recorded monuments

• GA041-013 Enclosure
  Description

  In cleared gently undulating pastureland. A subcircular area (NE-SW 33.4m) enclosed by a wide drystone field wall (Wth 3m, H 1.6m). A gap at SE appears to be modern. Though apparently of recent construction, the wall may overlie an earlier enclosure. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010

• GA041-014 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In level grassland. Poorly preserved irregularly shaped cashel (N-S c. 40m, E-W c. 30m) defined by a drystone wall from E through S to NW. A field wall cuts the monument at NW and NE, and only a faint curving vegetation mark, visible on aerial photograph (ASGAP 350:5A), indicates the former line of the enclosing element to N of it. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
