Recorded monuments

• GA096-106 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a gentle S-facing slope in pastureland. Poorly preserved almost circular cashel (32m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by a drystone wall best preserved at W; elsewhere it survives as a grassed-over stony bank. A gap (Wth 1m) at SW appears to be modern. A hay-shed has been constructed in the NW quadrant of the interior. (Cody 1989, 259-60, no. 84) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 5 January 2018

• GA096-107 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a S-facing slope with pastureland to the N and scrub and rock outcrop to the S. This poorly preserved subcircular cashel (26.5m E-W; 23m N-S) is defined by a collapsed drystone wall, now reduced to a grassed-over stony bank, which is overlain by a later field wall from N to E. The enclosing element is obscured at SW by a large concrete water tank and is breached by tractor gaps at W and NE. An opening (1m by 0.6m), the purpose of which is unclear, in the SW quadrant of the interior is filled with loose stones (Cody 1989, 258-9, no. 83). The interior is used as a cattle-feeding station.

• GA096-108 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a hillock in undulating pastureland. This poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 41m) is defined by a drystone wall from N through E to S; it is obscured by overgrowth. A field wall cuts across the monument at N and S, and to the W of this no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives.
