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, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA106-070----. 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, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA106-071----. 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.

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. However, its outline is visible on the OSi digitalglobe aerial imagery (Google 2019).

In undulating pastureland. Poorly preserved roughly circular rath (diam. c. 40m) defined by a bank. A field boundary cuts through it from NNE to SE and another overlies it from NNW to NNE.

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. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 5 March 2019 - GA106-075: Moated site, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA106-075----. In flat pastureland on the E bank of a small stream. This well-preserved square moated site (32m N-S; 32m E-W) is defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 5.7m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.44m) is visible all round; field boundaries overgrown with trees overlie its N and S sides. The water-logged fosse (Wth 2.2m) is extant except from E to SE and the outer bank (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.8m) survives along the W and N sides.

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.
