- GA082-029: Castle - tower house, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA082-029----. On NE-facing slope overlooking an extensive tract of bogland known as the Curragh. In existence in 1574 when it was in the possession of 'Ricard beg' Burke (Nolan 1901, 115). Well-preserved rectangular tower (L 9.45m, Wth 7.6m) of four storeys. A gabled house was built against S wall in 19th C: it and the tower were renovated in 1960s and are still occupied as a private residence. The following description is based largely on Athy's survey (1914, 173-6): a pointed-arch doorway of two orders, set off-centre in E wall, gives access to a lobby, with murder-hole above, and there is a spiral stair in SE corner. The ground, 1st and 2nd floors each comprise a main chamber with a subsidiary one to E. A stone vault exists between 2nd/3rd floors and there are fireplaces in N wall on 1st and 3rd floors. An enclosed latrine gallery runs along E side of main chamber between 1st and 2nd floors: there is also a latrine on 3rd floor. Beneath the floor on S side of the 3rd floor is a concealed chamber in the thickness of the arch. All the windows were single or double lights with ogee or flat heads. Only the base of the parapets survived in 1914. (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 1, 331) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.

- GA082-030: Ritual site - holy well, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA082-030----. On N-facing slope c. 100m NW of a road and td. boundary. All that remains of this well, correctly Tobar an Domhnaigh, is a patch of rough ground in SE part of a field.

- GA082-091: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA082-091----. In pastureland on a N-facing slope. Originally identified during aerial reconnaissance in 1989. This subrectangular enclosure (30m E-W; 18m N-S) is defined by the remains of low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.18m; ext. H 0.3m) to the W, N and E and by traces of a levelled bank (Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.18m; ext. H 0.15m) on the S side. Short portions of a linear bank of similar dimensions extend for a further length of c. 4m from the NE and SE corners. Another linear bank (long axis c. N-S; L 21m) of similar dimensions is visible c. 13m to the E. A large D-shaped depression encloses the area to S. Recent ground disturbance had occurred within and around monument. Cloonacauneen Castle (GA082-029----) is c. 20m to the NW. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 10 November 2016
- GA082-109: Architectural fragment, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA082-109----. This architectural fragment came to light during recent cable-laying in the vicinity of Cloonacauneen Castle (GA082-029----). It was moved to its present location for safe-keeping. The fragment consists of a curving chamfered block of stone (max. L 0.82m; max. Wth 0.24m; T 0.24m). Its face is lightly hammer dressed. The base of the stone is squared-off but the top of it is very irregular due to damage. The inward edge is smooth. The shape and form of the stone suggest that it was part of the upper right-hand side of a doorway and that it is most likely from, or associated with, the castle.

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.
