Recorded monuments

• GA100-103 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  In level pastureland. This poorly preserved overgrown circular ring-barrow (diam. 22.6m), which is partly obscured by furze and hawthorn growth, comprises a flat-topped raised area (diam. 10.8m; max. H 0.2m) surrounded by a fosse, with slight traces of an external bank from SW to W. On inspection in February 1985 an old field bank abutted it at SE and at N a narrow drain ran N for 7m. Current aerial imagery (Google 2019) indicates that the field boundary has since been removed. A bowl-barrow (GA100-103001-) lies c. 30m to the SE. de Valera and Ó Nualláin (1972, 29) noted a possible third one (GA100-103002-) c. 25m to the SSW.

• GA100-103001 Barrow - bowl-barrow
  Description

  Some 30m to the SE of a ring-barrow (GA100-103----). This well-preserved circular barrow (diam. 23m) comprises a flat-topped mound (diam. 5.3m; max. H 1.3m) encircled by a fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.2m). The side of the mound has been partially damaged and eroded by cattle and as a result a ledge-like feature runs around it giving it the appearance of a mound with a smaller mound on top (SMR file). A narrow drain runs off the fosse at NNE. Another possible barrow (GA100-103002-) lies c. 50m to the SW.

• GA100-103002 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  In pastureland. de Valera and Ó Nualláin (1972, 29, no. 11) noted a circular bushy area 'some 30m south' of the more westerly example (GA100-103----) of two barrows (see also GA100-103001-) and they believed it may have concealed 'a third mound'. On inspection in February 1985 the small clump of dense overgrowth was inaccessible and it was not possible to determine whether it was of archaeological significance or not.

• GA100-105 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level open pastureland to the N of Redmond Hill. This oval rath (66m E-W; 46m N-S), in fair condition, is defined by a degraded earthen bank and an external fosse; the latter survives from WNW to NNW and from ENE to S. A number of disused quarry pits are visible along its course. Numerous gaps in the bank appear to be modern. A field boundary curves around the monument from NE to SE.

• GA100-106001 Enclosure - large enclosure
  Description

  On a N-facing slope in grassland. This pear-shaped enclosure (85m NE-SW; 72.5m NW-SE), in fair condition, is defined by a bank from ENE through E to SSE; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. Several low earthen banks radiate from it at NNW, SSE, and S, and traces of a trackway (L c. 130m), defined by two parallel earthen banks, extend from it at SW. (ASGAP 172:27) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 27 August 2019

• GA100-106002 Road - road/trackway
  Description

  Possibly associated with the large enclosure (GA100-106001-). This trackway (L c. 135m), running ENE-WSW, is defined by two heavily degraded parallel banks of earth which are 11.5m apart. The banks fade out just short of the enclosure at W. (ASGAP 172:27) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 27 August 2019

• GA100-106003 Earthwork
  Description

  Possibly associated with a large enclosure (GA100-106001-). Aerial reconnaissance in August 1984 (ASGAP 172:27) revealed a series of earthen banks extending off the enclosure at N (L 15m; Wth 2.5m; H 0.2m), SSE (L 86m) and S.

• GA100-107 Quarry
  Description

  Two hachured features marked on the 1946 revision of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1985 to be overgrown disused quarry pits. As they are of post-AD 1700 date they do not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 8 August 2014

• GA100-108 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  On the NW-facing slope of Redmount Hill. This roughly circular ring-barrow (42.8m NNE-SSW; 41.5m ESE-WNW), in fair condition, comprises a low flat-topped central mound encircled by a fosse and external bank. The line of the fosse is indicated by a darker band of vegetation. The bank has been almost completely ploughed out. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 14 August 2019
