Recorded monuments

• GA095-076001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  In low-lying pastureland. Holt (1912, 243, no. 54) referred to a hillock known as ‘Castleknock’ on the old road from Clarinbridge to the west and stated that it showed ‘evident traces of ancient foundations’ that seemed ‘to represent a small castle, bawn and bailey built on the site of a Gaelic work’; he also noted an ope which exposed a ‘souterrain’. He supposed that the castle, of which no record existed, stood on the road with its bawn extending to the S and the small bailey to the W (ibid.). On inspection in March 1993, no visible surface traces of any of these features were evident. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 23 August 2017

• GA103-034 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a N-facing slope in pastureland. Subcircular rath (25.8m WSW-ENE), in fair condition, defined by a bank from WSW through N to S; no visible surface trace survives from S to WSW. A field boundary cuts across the monument at NW and SE and a roadway runs through it from WSW to ENE.
