On E-facing slope of a rise inundulating grassland. Known locally as 'Hill Fort' (Neary 1914, 123, no. 151), this circular rath (D 46m), in fair condition, is defined by two banks and anintervening fosse. The inner bank is present from Ethrough S to N; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosingelement. The outer bank is overlain by a field bankfrom ENE through S to NNW. Within the interior is acircular structure of grassed-over stone (D 4.8m), possibly a house. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

- GA016-056001: Castle - motte and bailey, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA016-056001-. In gently undulating grassland, overlooking bogland and a stream to S. Poorly preserved, partially natural, flat-topped earthen mound (14.5m N-S, 10.6m E-W) surrounded by an egg-shaped enclosure (40m N-S, E-W 28m) defined by a fosse. Traces of an outer bank survive at SSW. A castle (GA016-056002-) occupied the top of the mound. (Neary 1914, 124, no. 150) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
- GA016-056002: Castle - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA016-056002-. On top of a motte and bailey (GA016-056001-). In existence in 1574 when it was in the possession of 'Thomas Balve' (Nolan 1901b, 117). According to Neary (1914, 124, no. 150), the remains of the castle comprised 'Nine huge blocks of masonry strewn around and upwards of ten tons each [which] have kept together with wonderful cohesion. Tradition says the binding material was a compost of animal blood, sand and lime. The state of the ruin suggests that it was blown up'. Several large chunks of uncoursed mortared limestone masonry still lie about the top of the motte. No architectural features survive. Slight undulations in the ground surface may be grassed-over footings of the castle walls. Neary (ibid.) also refers to a rectangular 'subsidiary building 20 ft. lower down on N', and to 'an opening to a souterrain in the centre of the castle': no visible surface trace of these survive; the latter is unlikely to be a souterrain. He also mentions the existence of a 'picture' (probably a painting) of the castle which showed it to be 'as massive as Dunmore' (see GA017-069----) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010

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.
