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

- GA059-032: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA059-032----. On a W-facing hillslope. A circular area (D c. 37m) defined by a very faint low platform. 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
- GA059-033: Ringfort - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA059-033----. In level grassland. Oval rath (E-W 36.4m, N-S 29.6m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. A scarp forms the inner enclosing element from NE to E. The outer bank is overlain by a field boundary from SE through S to SW. A gap (Wth 4m) at NNE could be original. 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
- GA059-034: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA059-034----. Towards S foot of a low hill with a small stream immediately to S. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1932) as a vaguely subrectangular enclosure (NW-SE c. 80m, E-W c. 75m). Since levelled and all that is now visible is a very faint roughly square platform (N-S 50m, E-W 50m, H 0.5m) standing slightly above the surrounding poorly drained ground. The monument is cut by a field wall at N and S. Possibly a ringfort though its morphology and location also suggest a moated site. 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
- GA059-035: Ringfort - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA059-035----. In level grassland. Well-preserved subcircular rath (E-W 41m, N-S 37.5m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The outer bank is extant at ESE and SW. A gap at W appears modern. 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

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.
