• GA116-084 Church
  Description

  In undulating pastureland, occupying the N half of a graveyard (GA116-084002-). On inspection in June 1983, all that survived of this poorly preserved and crudely constructed church (int. dims. 20m E-W; 7m N-S; wall T 0.8m) was the N side-wall, the E gable and the return of the W gable (L 1.2m). O'Donovan recorded a short isolated stretch of the S side-wall (L c. 6m) in 1838 (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 2, 2-3) but no visible surface trace of it was evident. O'Donovan (ibid.) also recorded two lancet windows, one in the E gable and one in the N wall; at that time, due to dense ivy growth, the E window was not visible in the external wall-face and the top of the the window in the N wall was missing. Due to further growth of the ivy the windows were no longer visible. However, street view imagery on Google Earth dated June 2009 shows that most of the ivy has been removed from the E gable, exposing the E window again. Dr C. Cunniffe brought the following architectural fragments from the church to our attention: two carved heads, which were probably the the stops of a moulding over over the original doorway or one of the windows, and the sillstone of a window; they are now set into the external wall-face of the graveyard. The sillstone is most likely of 13th-century date. The area to the N of the church is locally believed to mark a children's burial ground.

• GA116-084001 Graveyard
  Description

  In undulating pastureland. This roughly subrectangular graveyard (c. 53m N-S; c. 41m E-W) is enclosed by a modern stone wall. The remains of a medieval church (GA116-084----) occupy its N sector. On inspection, the earliest burials dated to the 20th century. A children's burial ground (GA116-084003-) is also associated. A number of architectural fragments from the church have been re-set into the external face of the enclosing wall. They include two stone heads, which were probably the stops of the moulding over the original doorway or one of the windows, and the sillstone of a window. These features were brought to our attention by Dr C. Cunniffe. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Updated by: Olive Alcock Date of revised upload: 20 July 2023

• GA116-084002 Children's burial ground
  Description

  The area immediately on the N side of the church (GA116-084---) is locally believed to mark the site of a children's burial ground. One modern memorial has been placed down to commemorate a child who died in 1949 but otherwise no grave-markers are visible. This monument was brought to our attention by Dr C. Cunniffe. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 8 January 2018 The following image has been uploaded: GA116-084002-_02.jpg Modern grave-marker marking area of children's burial ground.

• GA116-086 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Near the summit of a hillock in pastureland. This circular rath (diam. 33m), in fair condition, is defined by a bank at SW and W, and elsewhere by a scarp. Large boulders are evident in the material of the bank. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 12 January 2018

• GA116-087 Standing stone
  Description

  In hilly pastureland. Indicated and named 'Stone' in Roman script on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map. No visible surface trace survives. The landowner remembered a ‘large stone’ standing in front of the house, it was removed in the early 1930s. However, this was not exactly at the spot marked on the map. Another possible standing stone (GA116-088----) lay c. 90m to the SE. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 December 2019

• GA116-088 Standing stone
  Description

  In hilly pastureland, some 90m to the SE of another possible standing stone (GA116-087----). Indicated and named 'Stone' in Roman script on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map. On inspection all that was visible was a small stone, which was irregular in shape and only a few centimetres above the ground surface. According to the landowner, it originally was very high but it was broken up years ago. The remaining piece could not be moved. Possibly a standing stone.

• GA116-122 Bullaun stone
  Description

  On a S-facing slope in pastureland, in the SW corner of a field. This bullaun comprises a roughly worked conglomerate boulder (0.8m N-S; 0.7m E-W; H 0.55m). The bowl (Wth 0.4m; L 0.35m; D 0.18m) is roughly oval in plan. A crude groove is visible on the W end of the boulder. The bullaun was brought to our attention by Dr C. Cunniffe. A rath (GA116-086----) lies c. 125m to the NNE. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 8 January 2018 The following image has been uploaded: GA116-122-----01.jpg
