In gently undulating grassland. An almost circular rath (D 31.5m), in fair condition, defined by an inner scarp, intervening fosse and outer bank overlain by a field wall at W.

On a hill summit in grassland. Poorly preserved oval rath (N-S 35.5m, E-W 30m) defined by an inner scarp, intervening fosse and outer bank. The outer bank is present from NNW through N to E. Entrance causeway at N. Quarrying has encroached upon the monument at N and S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

On S end of a glacial ridge which is mantled with associated earthworks (GA060-081002-). In existence before 1504 when it was destroyed by 'Mac William De Burgo' (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 236-7, 243) (see also GA059-037----). The visible remains comprise a high flat-topped circular mound (D 15m, H 8m) which, though diminutive, is motte-like in appearance. Traces of a circular bank or grassed-over stone wall are visible around the perimeter of its summit. The S end of the ridge has been disturbed, probably by the 'mansion' which, according to local tradition, once stood at its foot. This is reputed to have had six chimneys but apart from the keystone of an arch, no visible surface trace of it survives.

This trackway is flanked on either side by a series of terraces (Wth 3.4-4m), supplemented along W side by a linear bank and fosse. Two wide fosses, running NW-SE, traverse the ridge, one at SW end delimiting the castle site, and another shallower example towards NE end.

At the SW end of a glacial ridge in pastureland. A hachured feature marked on the 1932 edition of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1983 to be an overgrown rectangular hollow, probably a disused sand or gravel pit. As it is of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 10 July 2014

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.
