Recorded monuments

• GA084-032 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In gently rolling pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a subcircular enclosure (c. 46m NW-SE; c. 35m NE-SW) cut from NE to SE by a road. Knox’s plan (1918, 122, no. 24) suggests that it was defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. It was levelled sometime between 1970 and 1978 (Cody 1989, 276, no. 100). A house has been built on the site and no visible surface trace survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 5 March 2019

• GA084-072 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level pastureland with rock outcrop. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 31m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is composed of earth; large slabs set on edge along its inner face do not appear to have formed a facing or revetment but rather a stone core upon which earth was heaped (Cody 1989, 198, no. 48). The fosse is visible all round and the outer bank survives from SSW through W to NNW. A gap (Wth 3m) at E may be original. (Knox 1918b, 123) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 12 December 2017

• GA084-073 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In undulating pastureland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 45m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall best preserved from WNW to NNW, elsewhere field walls overlie the enclosing element. A barn and water tank have been erected in the NE quadrant of the interior. There is a souterrain (GA084-073001-) in the SW quadrant. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 12 December 2017

• GA084-073001 Souterrain
  Description

  Within the W half of a cashel (GA084-073----). This drystone-built souterrain (L c. 11m; Wth c. 1m) runs N-S. Though inaccessible, a visual inspection is possible through blocked-up breaches at both ends. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 12 December 2017

• GA084-074 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In grassland. Described by Cody (1989, 198-200, no. 49) as a poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 65m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. There was a wide causewayed gap (Wth 15m) at S and within the interior an internal division which cut off SE quadrant from the rest of the site. In 2011 the monument was damaged when the outer bank was levelled and the resulting material was pushed inwards to infill the fosse.
