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, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA041-014----. 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

A very ruinous rectangular church (NE-SW; L 16m, Wth 6m ext.). Probable entrance towards S end of NW wall. No architectural features survive. Surrounding the church is a D-shaped enclosure (E-W 35m, N-S 25m) defined by a drystone wall best preserved at W and NE but obscured elsewhere by field clearance. 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.
