Recorded monuments

• GA096-098 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In gently rolling pastureland. Poorly preserved oval cashel (34.5m NE-SW; 30.4m NW-SE) defined by a collapsed drystone wall much obscured by overgrowth. A children's burial ground (GA096-098----) lies within the interior. (McCaffrey 1952, 158, no. 61) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 19 December 2017

• GA096-098001 Children's burial ground
  Description

  Within the SW quadrant of a cashel (GA096-098----). Due to dense overgrowth, all that is visible is one small set stone. (McCaffrey 1952, 158, no. 61) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 19 December 2017

• GA096-099 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In mixed farmland. Marked on the 1933 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) with a NW-SE running field boundary cutting through it at NNW and ESE. On inspection in May 1983 all that survived was an arc of drystone walling from NNW through N to E. No trace survived to the SE of the field wall. The current OSi digitalglobe aerial photograph shows that farm buildings have since been built immediately to the NE of the wall.
