On roadside c. 610m ESE of a church (GA022-012----). This well, correctly Tobar Ceannanach, consists of a natural spring enclosed by a small circular drystone enclosure (D 3.5m) with an entrance at W. There is a small alcove in N wall containing modern offerings. (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 31; Hardiman 1846, 118; Killanin 1954, 97) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
- GA022-019: Megalithic tomb - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA022-019----. On a low rise between Ballynakill Lough and Harbour. The monument consists of a small chamber (L c. 1.8m) covered by a roofstone. It is formed of two stones to N and a single stone to E. A small stone at W end does not appear to be in situ, and three other stones, probably outcropping rock, are exposed immediately SE of the chamber. Traces of a mound are visible around the structure. Though there is some doubt about the precise nature of the monument, it is clearly some form of burial chamber, (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, xxiii, n.1) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West 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.
