  Description

  On W-facing slope of a low hill. Circular rath (D 36m), in fair condition, defined by a bank and external fosse. A scarp forms the enclosing element from SSW to NW. The fosse is visible from NW to NE and survives as a shallow depression. Several low earthen mounds to NE and E may be the remains of old field boundaries.

• GA073-082 Church
  Description

  On a rise in undulating farmland, it stands within a modern irregularly shaped graveyard. Described in OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 623-4) as an 'old Church ... nearly destroyed'. All that remains of the original fabric of this very poorly preserved rectangular church (E-W; L 16.8m, Wth 5.1m) is part of E gable and adjoining sections of N and S walls. The rest of the masonry is of modern date. The only surviving architectural feature is a plain flat-headed window in E gable which incorporates some dressed stone. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
