## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- GA087-054: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA087-054----. In level grassland on N outskirts of Aughrim village. A poorly preserved roughly subcircular enclosure (E-W 37m, N-S 26m) defined by a bank from NW through E to SW. From SW to NW, the bank has been levelled and a band of nettle and thistles indicates its line. A moss-covered irregular mound (H < 0.2m) is evident in SW quadrant of the interior. 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
- GA087-055: Castle - Anglo-Norman masonry castle, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA087-055----. On a slight rise on NE outskirts of Aughrim village, the site overlooks an extensive marshy area to N and E. According to Knox (1901b, 370), there was a castle here in 1324 (see GA087-0260----). It was certainly in existence in 1574, when 'Achrim' castle is listed as in the possession of 'Callogh OKelly' (Nolan 1901b, 120). Its condition at the time of the Battle of Aughrim (GA087-127----) is unclear: Jordan (1955, 2) describes it as 'very strong' but Hayes-McCoy (1942, 14) notes it as 'a ruin even then'. Evidently largely gone by the time of 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map when the words 'Site of' are appended (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 565). An L-shaped fragment of masonry, mantled in ivy, comprising NE corner of a two-storey building (L >3m, Wth >2.8m) survives. The only architectural features are a slight plinth at the base of the external face of N wall and a small narrow single-light window on 1st floor of same. However, N wall (Wth 1.7m) is notably thicker than E (1.3m). A large but low masonry fragment (L 12m, Wth 2.4m), possibly in situ, lies 3.5m to E of NE corner, its long axis running E-W. These fragments stand just outside SW corner of a rectangular scarped platform (E-W 35m, N-S 26m, H 1.7m max.) on which stands a tall modern cross. Further low scarps and banks are evident immediately to S, possibly indicating the continuation of the wall lines already mentioned. Finally, a long low scarp, running E-W, is also visible to S between the castle and the road. The site of a priory (GA087-067----) lies 195m to SE. 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
- GA087-056: House - 18th/19th century, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA087-056----. The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV). Currently the information for this record has not been uploaded. To access available information for research purposes please make an appointment in advance with the Archive Unit (open Fridays 10.00 am – 5.00 pm), Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, The Custom House, Dublin 1 D01W6XO or email NMarchive@housing.gov.ie.

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.
