• GA060-130 Enclosure
  Description

  On a slight rise. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1932) as a circular enclosure (D c. 35m) with a field wall overlying E half of the enclosing element. Reclamation has removed all visible surface traces, apart from some variations in vegetation colour which differentiate the area of the monument from the surrounding land. The N sector of the interior has been quarried out. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

• GA061-089001 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  In gently undulating pastureland in a house cluster named 'Chapelfeenaghty' on OS 6-inch maps. The Ahascragh-Ballygar road runs through it on a NNW-SSE axis. To E of the road is an irregularly shaped graveyard (NNW-SSE c. 80m, ENE-WSW c. 35m) (GA061-089003-), named but not clearly marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map. Roughly D-shaped in plan, its notably curving E wall also forms the td. boundary. Though modern, this may preserve a segment of a possible early ecclesiastical enclosure curving from N through E to SSE. However, immediately outside the graveyard at SE are faint traces of a separate curving bank following a completely different projection. It consists of an arc of a low wide earthen bank (L 12m, Wth 5.6m, H 0.5m max.) visible from SSE to SSW. Within the graveyard are the sites of two post-medieval RC chapels (GA061-089004-, GA061-089005-) and a souterrain (GA061-089006-), and there is a holy well (GA061-089002-) outside it to NE. Finally, the field to E of the graveyard is known as the 'Chapel Acre'. Another large enclosure (GA061-090----) lies c. 80m to N. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

• GA061-089003 Graveyard
  Description

  This irregularly shaped graveyard (NNW-SSE c. 80m, ENE-WSW c. 35m) is located to the E of the Ahascragh-Ballygar road. It is named but not clearly marked on the 1st ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Roughly D-shaped in plan, its notably curving E wall also forms the townland boundary. Though modern, this may preserve a segment of a possible early ecclesiastical enclosure (GA061-089001-). Within the graveyard are the sites of two post-medieval RC chapels (GA061-089004-, GA061-089005-) and a souterrain (GA061-089006-). Burials date from the 18th to the 20th centuries. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 27 October 2016

• GA061-089004 Chapel
  Description

  Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a small circular area (D c. 10m), defined by a broken line, in S part of the irregularly shaped graveyard (GA061-089003-). All that is visible in this part of the graveyard are the foundations of a small rectangular overgrown structure (L 5.6m, Wth 4.2m ext.), aligned NW-SE. Traces of roughly coursed limestone blocks (H 1.5m max.) are visible at NW end. This is held by local tradition to be the site of a 'church' and may be synonymous with the circular feature shown on 1st ed. According to local information, there is an inscribed slab (GA061-089007-) nearby (not located) which records that a 'P. James Finachti Priest ... erected this stone and oratory in honour of St. Gobnait Abbess of this enclosure built in 1683'. 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

• GA061-089006 Souterrain
  Description

  In N part of an irregularly shaped graveyard (GA061-089003-). On 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map, the named 'Cave' appears to refer to a small rectangle (c. 6m by c. 5m) and a circle (c. 4m) in N part of the graveyard. On 3rd ed. (1915), two dots, c. 10m apart, are shown. These appear to represent the two breaches which give access to the souterrain. The section presently accessible comprises three drystone-built rectangular chambers, roughly L-shaped in plan. Access to the 1st chamber (L c. 5.6m, Wth 1.2m), running NNW-SSE, is gained via a modern breach at SSE end. A creep (Wth 0.76m) at NNW end leads to 2nd chamber (L c. 3.6m, Wth 1m), running NW-SE. The NW end is filled with soil. To NNW, a 3rd chamber (L 10.5m) runs off almost at right angles on a NNE-SSW axis. It is entered through a breach at its SSW end. It is likely that the three chambers were originally linked but collapse at the right-angled junction obscures any connecting passage or creep. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
