- GA099-113: Ritual site - holy well, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA099-113----. In a large marshy depression adjacent to a field boundary, 235m NE of a church (GA099-114001-). Apart from one or two dressed stones projecting from the field boundary, no visible surface trace survives. (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 646) 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
- GA099-114001: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA099-114001-. On a slight rise within an irregularly shaped graveyard (GA099-114002-). Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a rectangular roofed building, aligned E-W, with a small S projection at W end. However, OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 646-7) record that 'the old church of Cill Allachtain is now level with the ground'. What survives is a grass-covered mound of earth and stone (E-W 6.9m, N-S 6m, H 1.5m) crowned with a clump of ash trees. A number of architectural fragments, including a chamfered window mullion, lie adjacent. According to local tradition, a mother and child sheltered beneath a tree growing from this mound during famine times. The mother died but the child survived by sucking the tree roots. A holy well (GA099-113----) lies 235m to NE and a number of banks (GA099-114003-) are visible around the graveyard. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

- GA099-114002: Graveyard, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA099-114002-. This graveyard (c. 80m ENE-WSW; c. 65m NNW-SSE), roughly trapezoidal in plan, is associated with a church (GA099-114001-). It is delimited by a stone wall and access is through a gateway in the W wall. It has been extended towards the NW and the line of the earlier N wall has been removed but its line is still discernible. The majority of the graveslabs in the older S part of the graveyard date to the 18th and 20th centuries and a number of worked stones from the church have been reused in this section as grave-markers.

- GA099-114003: Earthwork, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA099-114003-. A low earthen bank (Wth 8m; H 0.4m) extends for a length of c. 15m from the NW corner of the graveyard (GA099-114002-). A scarp to its E extends beyond the N wall of the graveyard and then turns S and is visible to the E of the E wall. Here its course is rather irregular. It is unclear if these earthworks are associated with the church (GA099-114001-) and graveyard. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 5 December 2016
- GA099-114005: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA099-114005-. Circa 70m to the SE of the SE corner of the graveyard (GA099-114002-). A raised subcircular platform (19m E-W; 17m N-S) is defined by a bank from NE to SE and elsewhere by a scarp. A shallow narrow external fosse is visible all round. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 6 December 2016

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.
