Recorded monuments

• GA015-050 Children's burial ground
  Description

  On a hummock in grassland. Poorly preserved oval CBG (E-W 15m, NNW-SSE 9.5m) defined by a degraded earthen bank from NNW through N to E. No visible surface traces elsewhere. Within the interior, numerous set stones indicate graves oriented E-W. Many have been disturbed by cattle. 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

• GA016-103 Inscribed stone (present location)
  Description

  This record was formerly classified as ‘Ogham stone (present location)’. This was based on local information provided to survey staff in 1984 and 1990 which recorded that the stone had been broken in two with one half buried and the other half lost (SMR file). As the so-called ogham markings have never been verified as genuine this stone cannot be classified with certainty as an ogham stone and a proper elucidation of the monument must await further investigation. The stone was supposedly located c. 400m north-west of this position (see GA016-134----). Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 14 November 2016

• GA016-115 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Encompassing a hillock in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (E-W 21m, N-S 19m) defined by a degraded bank from NE through S to NW, and elsewhere by a straightened-off scarp. There is a possible souterrain (GA016-115001-) within the interior. 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

• GA016-115001 Souterrain
  Description

  In SW quadrant of a ringfort (GA016-115----). What is visible is a large regular grassy rectangular flat-bottomed hollow (L 20m, Wth 10.3m), running NW-SE, situated immediately inside the scarp defining the monument. It is up to 1.45m in depth. At its NW end, an entrance-like gap opens through the face of the scarp. A considerable amount of stone is visible in the sides of the depression but no structural remains. Possibly a souterrain or a quarry pit. 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

• GA016-116 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a rise in otherwise low-lying grassland. Very poorly preserved originally subcircular rath (E-W c. 35m) defined by a degraded bank from ESE through S to W, outside of which runs a modern ditch. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere. There is a large pond within the interior. 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

• GA016-117 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  On SE-facing slope of a small hill. A well-preserved circular earthwork (D 12m) defined by a bank of earth and stone which encloses a slightly hollow interior. A vegetation band running outside the bank from NW through E to S could be the last remnants of a fosse. Gaps in the bank at E and SSW appear modern, and a field wall cuts across it at SW and NW. 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

• GA016-118 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a rise in grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 45m, E-W 42.2m) defined by two banks of earth and stone and an intervening fosse. The enclosing elements are best preserved from W to NE. Possible entrance at N. A field boundary cuts the outer bank at N. There is a souterrain (GA016-118----) within the interior. An earthwork (GA016-119----) lies c. 170m to SW. 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

• GA016-118001 Souterrain
