• GA085-059 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Some 20m NE of a rath (GA085-059----), E of a stream, in rough pastureland. This well consists of a dry partially rubble-filled hollow enclosed by a poorly preserved D-shaped mortared stone wall (3.1m E-W; 2.3m N-S; H 1.5m max; Wth 0.6m). A gap (Wth 0.9m) at the N may be original. On a block (c. 0.3m by 0.3m) set in the wall at E an inscription dedicated to St John and dated 1714 is visible. On inspection the area was overgrown and piles of large stones had been dumped about the site. Current aerial imagery (OSi Digitalglobe (2011-2013) indicates that a number of trees are growing here now and forestry plantations lie to the NE and SW. (Cody 1989, 333-5, no. 149).

• GA085-060 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a rise in grassland. This heavily overgrown subcircular rath (50m N-S; 37m E-W), in fair condition, is defined by an inner scarp (H 1.8m max.), intervening fosse (Wth 2.5-3m) and outer bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 0.5m). From NE to SSE a field bank overlies the outer bank. A holy well (GA085-059----) lies c. 20m to the NE. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 9 January 2018

• GA085-062 Mound
  Description

  On a slight rise in low-lying grassland. Described by Cody (1989, 292, no. 116) as a low roughly circular mound (17.5m N-S; 16m E-W), which was formed in part by scarping the top of a natural rise. Its surface was ‘an inverted saucer shape in profile'. However, Cody could not determine the its purpose or antiquity. Some bushes are growing on it and a mature tree is visible at S.

• GA097-112 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a rise in rolling grassland. An almost circular rath (29m E-W; 28m N-S), in fair condition, defined by a bank and external fosse; the latter is visible from W through N to NE. Numerous gaps in the bank appear to be modern. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 9 January 2018

• GA097-113 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On the W-facing slope of a hillock in rolling grassland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m). Apart from an irregular nettle-covered mound of field-clearance rubble, no visible surface trace survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 26 July 2019

• GA097-114 Church
  Description

  In gently undulating grassland, to the NE of Kiltullagh village. According to the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 1 500-502) 'two portions of the side wall' of this church survived in 1838. Traces of a window ope were evident at one end of the larger stretch, which was roughly '33 feet [c. 10m]' in length. A base-batter was evident on both wall-faces but it was more pronounced on one side. There was a gap of '18 feet [c. 5.4m]' between this section and the shorter one, which was '7 feet [c. 2.1m] in length' and there was another gap of 'Seven feet [c. 2.1m]' between it and the vestiges of the gable to which it had been attached'. The gable wall was reduced 'to a level with the ground'. On the basis of the surviving remains it was estimated that the original length of the church was '65 feet [c. 19.8m]'. All that now survives is a featureless stretch of the longer section of walling, which appears to be the N side-wall (L 4m; H 3-4m; T 0.8m) of the church. It is constructed of roughly cut uncoursed mortared blocks of limestone and both ends have been rebuilt and secured with cement. A slight base-batter is visible on the external wall-face. The wrought iron cross set on top of the wall is most likely to have originally marked a burial in the surrounding graveyard (GA097-114001-) (Higgins 1998, 1-4). A font (GA097-114002-) that has been reused to mark a grave in the SW section of the graveyard is probably from the church, as is a small piece of ashlar stone, with sparrow-pocked tooling of 16th or 17th century date, which has been inserted below the capping of the enclosing graveyard wall. A number of medieval graveslabs are also visible (see GA097-114003- to GA097-114006-).

• GA097-114001 Graveyard
  Description

  In gently undulating grassland to the NE of Kiltullagh village. This rectilinear graveyard (c. 90m NE-SW; c. 86m NW-SE) is enclosed by a modern stone wall. Access is gained via a gateway at S. Most of the headstones date from the 18th to the 20th centuries but four medieval graveslabs (GA097-114003- to GA097-114006-) are also visible. The remains of a church (GA097-114----) occupy its S end and a font (GA097-114002-) in its SW sector probably came from the church. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 11 March 2020

• GA097-114002 Font
  Description

  In the SW section of a graveyard (GA097-114001-). This font (H 0.37m; Wth 0.43m; T 0.28m) is embedded in the soil with the bowl (diam. 0.29m; D 0.06m) facing E. It is being used as a grave-marker. Its surface is smooth but the base is roughly hewn. It is likely to have come from the church (GA097-114----) that lies to the NE.

• GA097-114003 Graveslab
  Description

  Within the graveyard (GA097-114001-), on the N side of the surviving wall of the church (GA097-114----). This tapering graveslab (H 1.14m; T 0.14m; base Wth 0.44m tapering to 0.4m) is currently used as a grave-marker and is standing upright. No decorative detail or inscription is evident. Possibly of 16th/17th-century date (Higgins 1998, 1-4). Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 11 March 2020 The following image has been uploaded: GA097-114003-_01.jpg

• GA097-114004 Graveslab
  Description

  Within the graveyard (GA097-114001-), on the N side of the surviving wall of the church (GA097-114----). Only the upper part of this tapering graveslab (H 0.55m; T 0.14m; base Wth 0.46m; Wth at top 0.51m) is visible. It is embedded upright in ground and is currently being used as a grave-marker. No decorative detail or inscription is evident. Higgins (1998, 1-4) suggests that it could date between the 12th and early 15th century.

• GA097-114005 Graveslab
  Description

  Within the graveyard (GA097-114001-) on the N side of the surviving wall of the church (GA097-----). This upright rectangular graveslab (H 1.2m; Wth 0.64m; T 0.16m) with bevelled edges bears no inscription or decorative detail. Possibly of 16th/17th century date (Higgins 1998, 1-4).

• GA097-114006 Graveslab
  Description

  Two halves of a slightly tapering graveslab are incorporated into the roadside wall leading into the carpark to the S of Kiltullagh church (GA097-114----) and graveyard (GA097-114001-). One half is to the W of the entranceway and the other is to its E. According to Higgins (1998, 1-2) they bear elements of a plough, the vocational symbol of a farmer. The graveslab dates from the 16th or 17th century. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 11 March 2020 The following images have been uploaded: GA097-114006-_01.jpg GA097-114006-_02.jpg
