- GA056-059 Ringfort - unclassified
Description
On a rise in low-lying grassland. Circular cashel (D c. 35m), in fair condition, defined by a drystone wall with traces of a shallow external fosse at S. A gap at NE appears modern. A field wall overlies the enclosing element at W. 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
- GA056-060 Ringfort - unclassified
Description
On the summit of a ridge in grassland. Poorly preserved oval cashel (NW-SE 50m, NE-SW 35m) defined by a drystone wall, best preserved from NNW to NE. In SSW sector of the interior, a rectangular structure (NW-SE; L 3.2m, Wth > 1m) defined by a line of loose boulders is probably a house. To E lies a small circular hollow (D 1.5m). Abutting the enclosing element at NE is a semicircular enclosure (E-W 22m, N-S 20m) defined by a drystone wall. It may be associated. 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
- GA056-062 Enclosure
Description
On a SW-facing slope in grassland. An almost circular earthwork (N-S 11.5m, E-W 10.5m), in a fair condition, comprising a bank of earth and stone (H 1.4m ext.) which encloses a hollow interior. The bank is overlain by a field wall from NNE to SE. A gap at SE may be modern. There are possible indications of internal revetment at W. A large quantity of stone is visible in W half of the interior. Possibly a house or a barrow. 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
- GA056-144 Ringfort - cashel
Description
On a S-facing slope in undulating pastureland, in an area of outcroping rock. A disused quarry lies c. 50m to NW. The rock outcrop to N of the monument has been cleared as a result of recent land reclamation. Very poorly preserved subcircular cashel (N-S 36m, E-W 33m) defined by a drystone wall best preserved from W to N; elsewhere it is grassed over. Rock outcrop is visible within the interior as well as a number of grassed-over foundation lines. 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
- GA056-145 Souterrain
Description
This souterrain was first noted c. 20 years ago when a nearby bungalow was being built. A bulldozer dislodged some lintels and at the time the resulting gap was back-filled. During recent landscape gardening, more lintels were dislodged revealing a drystone-built chamber (L5.1m, Wth at NW end 1.46m, narrowing to 1.25m at SE) aligned NW-SE. It was blocked at NW end where the previous back-filling occured, suggesting that it extends further to NW. The SE end, while also of clay, curves inwards suggesting an end-wall. A step is evident in the floor delimiting the lower NW end of the chamber from SE end. 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
