Recorded monuments

• GA085-064 Souterrain
  Description

  At the S end of a large hummock in low-lying grassland. A local man pointed out the site of this stone-built souterrain (L c. 1.8m; Wth c. 0.9m; H c. 1.2m), which he remembered crawling into as a child. It was partially blocked with stones and was subsequently filled. No visible surface trace of it is evident. A rath (GA085-066----) lies c. 110m to the SSE. (Cody 1989, 310, no. 133) Compiled by: Galway Archaeology Survey, UCG Date of upload: 25 October 2019

• GA085-065 Moated site
  Description

  In low-lying marshy grassland. This rectangular enclosure (37m E-W; 34m N-S), in fair condition, is defined by a bank of earth and stone and an external fosse. The bank is best preserved along the E side. A field bank overlies the fosse on the W side. A small bridge crosses the fosse at N and a causeway crosses it at S. Between these two points a field fence and trackway cut across the interior. In the SE quadrant, a small rectangular structure (L 7.3m; Wth 4m), defined by a bank of earth, abuts the enclosing element. Possibly a moated site.
