## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- GA106-038: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA106-038----. On a rise in low-lying pastureland. This large subcircular rath (c. 75m N-S; c. 65m E-W), in fair condition, is defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is visible from N through E to W; from W to NW a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse survives around the S half of the monument and the outer bank is extant only from S to WNW. A road encircles it from NW through E to S. A gap (Wth 9m) at WNW may be original. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 12 January 2018
- GA106-112001: Children's burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA106-112001-. In low-lying pastureland. This children's burial ground consists of an unenclosed subrectangular area (c. 18m N-S; c. 14m E-W) within which numerous set stones, running in N-S rows, indicate graves aligned E-W. Within the NW sector of the interior a box-like grave plot (L 1.2m; Wth 0.5m) is defined by a number of set stones. St Brendan’s Well (GA106-112002-) lies c. 15m to the SSE. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 2 September 2019
- GA106-112002: Ritual site - holy well, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA106-112002-. Circa 15m to the SSE of a children's burial ground (GA106-112001-). This spring well is enclosed by a very poorly preserved circular drystone surround (diam. c. 2m). A small mound of stones lies immediately to its N; it is unclear whether it is associated with the well. Some 8m to its S lies a modern well, which according to local information, was sunk c. 1940.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
