Recorded monuments

• GA106-069 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a rise in low-lying pastureland. Circular rath (diam. c. 50m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The fosse survives from NE through E to SSW, while the outer bank is only visible from E through S to SSW. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 December 2017

• GA106-070 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In low-lying pastureland. Poorly preserved roughly circular rath (diam. c. 35m) defined by a bank. A road cuts through the monument from SW to NE and no surface trace of the enclosing element survives to the NW of it. However, its outline is clearly visible on the OSi digitalglobe aerial photograph. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 December 2017

• GA106-071 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In flat pastureland. Marked on the 1938 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a rectangular enclosure overlain by an E-W running field boundary along its N side; on the 1933 edition it is subcircular in plan (c. 43m N-S; c. 39m E-W) and the entire circuit is overlain by a field boundary. A fosse is shown from NW to NE. On inspection in March 1983 no visible surface trace survived. However, the subcircular tree-planted field boundary most likely mirrors its outline.

• GA106-072 Enclosure
  Description

  In flat grassland. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a subrectangular enclosure (c. 26m NE-SW; 22m NW-SE). On inspection in March 1983 no visible surface trace survived.

• GA106-073 Ringfort - rath

• GA106-074 Enclosure
  Description

  On a rise in otherwise level grassland. Well-preserved rectangular enclosure (40m N-S; 37m E-W) defined by two banks and a wide intervening fosse. The outer bank only survives along the NW side. A large hollow in the N sector of the interior may be the result of quarrying. Abutting the monument at SE is a rectangular raised platform which may be associated.
