Recorded monuments

• GA004-002 Church
  Description

  In NE quadrant of an early ecclesiastical enclosure (GA004-002002-); the church is now centrally placed within a small subcircular enclosure (GA004-003003-) possibly associated with the adjoining CBG (GA004-002001-). Poorly preserved and partially overgrown, this rectangular church (E-W; L 10m, Wth 8m ext.) is possibly of medieval date. While substantial sections of E gable and S wall still stand, only fragmented sections of W gable and N wall remain. No architectural features are visible. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

• GA004-002001 Children's burial ground
  Description

  Immediately S of a church (GA004-002----). On 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map, the church is shown within a small unnamed triangular-shaped enclosure (GA004-002003-) but by the time of 3rd ed. (1930), this has become subcircular (N-S c. 30m, E-W c. 25m) and is labelled 'Grave Yd.'. What survives is a subcircular enclosure (N-S 26.6m) originally completely enclosed by a tree-lined earthen bank (Wth 2.2m, H 1.1m max.). This is still intact from S through W to N but has been reduced elsewhere to a scarp by recent bulldozing. A gap at W could be original. Within the overgrown and rubble-strewn interior, and immediately to S and W of the church, some small set stones are still visible indicating graves oriented E-W. According to local information, this graveyard is believed to be a CBG, though some adult human bones were noticed during the bulldozing. Whether the encircling enclosure is associated with it or the early ecclesiastical enclosure (GA004-002002-) is unclear.

• GA004-002002 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  On a hill summit in rolling farmland, some 400m SE of the Dalgin River. Subcircular enclosure (N-S 170m, E-W 140m), in fair condition, defined by an earthen bank and external fosse. The bank is present from SE through S to WNW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse is best preserved from SE through S to SW; elsewhere a stream flows around the monument. In NE quadrant of the interior is a church (GA004-002----) and a CBG (GA004-002001-).
