Crowning a prominent hill. Revealed during recent turf-cutting and still partially buried in the bog. Aligned NE-SW and 2.7m apart. Both stones are of white quartz. The N stone is subrectangular in plan (H > 1m) and S stone, which is prostrate, is rectangular (H 1.65m). (Ó Nualláin 1988, 197) 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
- GA022-029: Field boundary, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA022-029----. On S-facing slope in cutaway bog now covered in a dense growth of heather. Two lengths of pre-bog wall uncovered in turf-cutting appear to form two sides of a roughly rectangular structure, probably a small field. Long axis NE-SW (L >17m, Wth >13m). Built of large slabs. 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
- GA022-030001: Field system, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA022-030001-. On a bog-covered terrace overlooking a small stream to N. Three discontinuous stretches of wall are visible in cutaway bog to W and S of an enclosure (GA022-030002-) and a stone pair (GA022-030003-). Built of slabs with occasional orthostats, the wall covers an area c. 300m N-S by 500m E-W. Their exact relationship to enclosure or stone pair is unknown. 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
- GA022-030002: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA022-030002-. On a terrace on a N-facing slope c. 40m NNW of a stone pair (GA022-030003-). Poorly preserved circular enclosure (D 24m) defined by a low but wide (Wth 2.8m) revetted drystone wall. There is a well-defined entrance at E. A series of pre-bog field walls lie to S and W (GA020-030001-). Though cashel-like in appearance, this monument may be of prehistoric date.

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.
