- GA086-134: Quarry, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA086-134----. 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, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA086-135001-. 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'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010

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. In E depression (N-S 3.4m, E-W 1.5m), which is up to 0.8m in depth, moss-covered stones protrude from N and E sides, while W depression (N-S 4.8m, E-W 3m), 0.3m in depth, is strewn with loose stone. Some 8m to W of the latter is another parallel nettle-filled depression (N-S 5.5m, Wth 3.5m). Possibly also associated.

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.
