• GA039-016 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  In hilly countryside close to the td. boundary and the confluence of two small streams. This holy well, correctly Tobar Fechín, is indicated on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map but was evidently gone by time of 2nd ed. (1899), when the words 'Site of' are appended. All that is visible today is a small pool with a little waterfall and a massive boulder in the bank. According to local tradition, the well had a cure for sore eyes. A CBG (GA039-016001-) is associated. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.

• GA039-016001 Children's burial ground

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).
