Recorded monuments

• GA044-045 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level grassland. Almost circular rath (E-W 37.5m, N-S 37m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse; no visible surface trace of the latter survives from E to SE. Both banks are quarried out at W. An earthen bank, possibly associated, radiates from the monument at N. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

• GA044-046 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level grassland, c. 250m NE of the Grange River. When initially visited in March 1985, this monument consisted of a poorly preserved subcircular rath (NE-SW 45.8m, NW-SE 41.2m) defined by a bank and external fosse. Quarrying had encroached upon the enclosing elements from SE through S to SW. It was subsequently levelled, shortly after the site visit, due to land development.

• GA044-047001 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  On a slight E-facing slope in pastureland, immediately SW of the td. boundary. Aerial reconnaissance in July 1970 (CUCAP BDT 81) revealed a curving cropmark in the field surface immediately outside S wall of the roughly rectangular graveyard. All that is visible on the ground surface are faint traces of a ploughed-out bank (Wth 9-12m). This appears to form a continuation of the curve in E wall of the graveyard, suggesting the former presence of a large enclosure (NE-SW c. 80m) encircling the church (GA044-047002-). Its line is thus preserved from NE to ESE in the curving section of the graveyard wall, and from SE to SW by the cropmark. A holy well (GA044-073001-) and a 'Sweat Kiln' (GA044-073002-) lie 100m to E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

• GA044-047002 Church
  Description

  In NE quadrant of an early ecclesiastical enclosure (GA044-047001-), it stands at extreme E end of the graveyard. This is the site of a Carmelite monastery founded in the 14th C 'by one of the de Burgos' (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 288). The visible remains comprise an ivy-grown rectangular church (E-W; L 16.5m, Wth 8m ext.), in fair condition, probably of medieval date. Apart from N wall which is almost completely gone, the others still stand close to full height. There is a flat-headed doorway with a bar-slot at W end of S wall. Traces of a window are also visible at mid-point in this wall and E gable contains a large window ope. There is also a small rectangular window high up in W gable, suggesting the former presence of a loft at this end of the building. The interior is dominated by three large burial vaults built against E gable and S wall. The largest, in the centre of S wall, is surmounted by two decorated heads. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

• GA044-047003 Graveyard
  Description

  This roughly subrectangular graveyard (c. 100m E-W; c. 50m N-S) is divided into two sections. The E half is associated with the medieval church (GA044-047002-) in its NE sector and the earliest noted headstone, dating to 1824, occurs in this section. Most burials now occur in the W half of the graveyard. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 15 September 2015

• GA044-049 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In undulating grassland overlooking bog to S. Poorly preserved oval rath (E-W 51m, N-S 31m) defined by a scarp and external fosse from W through N to E. A field wall cuts the monument at E and W, to S of which no visible surface trace of the enclosing elements survives.
