- GA068-024: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA068-024----. In a graveyard on a slight ridge to the N of Ross Lake. On inspection in July 1983, both gables and the S wall of this poorly preserved medieval church (E-W; L 13.9m, Wth 6.9m), constructed of of rough undressed blocks of limestone, survived; only the E section of the N wall remained, the W end had collapsed. The doorway was located in the S wall close to the SW corner and a plain rectangular window was visible in the E gable. Standing 1m to the S of the church was the mortuary chapel of the Martin family, which contained the tomb of Major Poppelton, dated 1848. On re-inspection in March 2010, it was found that most of the ivy growing on the walls of the both buildings had died off following a local graveyard clean-up. (Killanin 1947, 123; O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 146-7; Hardiman 1846, 54) The following images have been uploaded: GA068-024----_01.jpg View of N wall and E gable of church from NE with mortuary chapel in background GA068-024-----02.jpg E gable of church and E side-wall of chapel The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.

- GA068-024001: Graveyard, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA068-024001-. Associated with 'St. Annin's Church' (GA068-024----). On inspection in July 1983, numerous grave-markers and graves dating to the 18th and 19th centuries were visible within this large roughly rectangular graveyard (c. 87m NNW-SSE; c. 60m ENE-WSW). On re-inspection in March 2020, it was found that a graveyard clean-up had removed most of the vegetation within it. The following images has been uploaded: GA068-024001-_01.jpg View of graveyard from W with St Annin's Church to left and Martin Mortuary Chapel to right.

- GA068-024002: Cross-slab, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA068-024002-. Within the graveyard (GA068-024001-) surrounding St Annin’s Church (GA068-024----). Recorded by Higgins (1987, ii, 376, no. 96), this large subrectangular slab of limestone with a curved or bow-shaped head bears an 18th-century inscription that overlies a two-line ringed cross with wedge-shaped terminals at the head and arms. The cross form appears to be early Christian or early medieval in date and the slab appears to have been recut when the sides were straightened and trimmed to shape the later gravestone.

- GA068-025: Ritual site - holy well, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA068-025----. Close to shore of Ross Lake c. 630m SE of St Annin's Church (GA068-024----). This well, correctly Tobar Ainthín, was noted by O'Flaherty in 1684 (Hardiman 1846, 54). It consists of a natural spring, dry at time of visit, delimited by a rectangular drystone wall (L c. 5m, Wth 3.8m). According to Killanin (1947, 123) it was resorted to on 18th January, St Annin's day. (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 146-7) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

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.
