• GA085-071 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  On E edge of a large flat bog. In existence in 1574 when it was in the possession of 'Shane ODaly' (Nolan 1901b, 120). Evidently ruined by 1839 when OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 468) note 'In Larhagh (Larthach, leathrath) townland, a castle stood, the site of which is still pointed out'. No visible surface trace survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
