Recorded monuments

• GA086-134 Quarry
  Description

  At the N end of a hummock in pastureland. A hachured feature marked on the 1947-8 revision of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1985 to be a disused quarry. 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: 22 July 2014

• GA086-135001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  At S end of a ridge in undulating grassland. Subcircular rath (N-S 36m, E-W 33m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank survives from NNW to NE and at SW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The intervening fosse and outer bank are extant from W through N to NE. Three low berms are all that survive of the outer bank from NE to SE; it and the fosse have been disturbed by quarrying from SE to WSW. Within the interior are a probable souterrain (GA086-135004-), and a subcircular structure (NNW-SSE 2.6m, NNE-SSW 1.8m) defined by a grassed-over stony bank with a possible entrance (Wth 2.1m) at E, probably a house (GA086-135003-). Some 30m to E is a small oval enclosure defined by an earthen bank, and to W a short stretch of road (L c. 12m, Wth c. 6m) lined with large boulders: these are probably later features. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

• GA086-135004 Souterrain
  Description

  In NW quadrant of a ringfort (GA086-135001-). What is visible are two contiguous overgrown stony depressions, 1.5m apart, both roughly rectangular in plan.
