In scrubland and rock outcrop. Described by Cody (1989, 245-6, no. 73) as a poorly preserved subcircular cashel (27.5m E-W; 21.5m N-S) defined by a drystone wall, best preserved from S through W to NE. Due to dense overgrowth all that was visible when inspected in May 1992 was the line of the wall from WSW to NW. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 24 November 2017

In level scrubland. Poorly preserved roughly circular cashel (diam. 30.3m) defined by a drystone wall. A field wall cuts across the monument in the SE sector and another overlies it at SW. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 24 November 2017
- GA096-051001: Ecclesiastical enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA096-051001-. On a gentle S-facing slope in pastureland. This poorly preserved subcircular ecclesiastical enclosure (76m N-S; 61m E-W) is defined by a double-faced drystone wall with a rubble core (int. H 0.3-0.8m; ext. H 0.5-1.7m; Wth 1.25m); it is best preserved from W through N to SSE. A field boundary overlies it from E to SSE. A roadway surrounds it from S through W to NW. A gap (Wth c. 6.5m) in the E sector is modern but the inner line of the enclosure wall is evident. A church (GA096-051002-) and graveyard (GA096-051002-) lie in the S half of the interior. Cody (1989, 315-17, no. 139) noted a possible internal radial division, defined by a grass-covered stony bank, in the SE quadrant.

- GA096-051002: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA096-051002-. Within the S half of an ecclesiastical enclosure (GA096-051001-). This rectangular church (13.3m E-W; 4.15m N-S) is very poorly preserved. The E gable has collapsed and only its foundation line survives. The S end of the W gable remains intact, the rest of it has been rebuilt. Sections of the side-walls have also collapsed. The E and W ends of the N side-wall (H 2-2.5m); Wth 0.7m) and the W end of S side-wall (H 2.2m; Wth 0.8m) are best preserved. No architectural features are visible. There is marked difference in the consturction of the W end of the church, which is built of large, almost semi-cyclopean boulders, and the E end, which is made up of smaller boulders, suggesting the possible enlargement of the original church. Traces of a plinth are visible along the W gable and N side-wall. A graveyard (GA096-051003-) lies to the S.

On low-lying pastureland subject to flooding at the S edge of a small wooded area, c. 15m to the W of a stream. This low horseshoe-shaped mound (7m N-S; 3m E-W; H 0.6m), opening towards the E, is composed of grassed-over burnt stone and black soil (Cody 1989, 158, no. 14).

In pastureland to the S of a pond fed by a small stream. Described by Cody (1989, 158, no. 15) as a large oval grass-covered mound (12m N-S; 6m E-W; H 1m), which narrowed slightly at its N end. Though lacking the classic horse-shoe shape he classified it as a fulacht fia. An exposed section at S indicated that it was composed of burnt stone. A small circular grass-covered mound (diam. 3m; H 0.5m), c. 3m to N, may also be composed of burnt stone (ibid.). Another fulacht fia (GA096-055----) lies c. 80m to the NNE.

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.
