Recorded monuments

• GA030-094 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In grassland. Well-preserved subcircular rath (E-W 35m, N-S 33m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is stone-faced internally. There is a well-defined entrance gap (Wth 2.3m) at ESE. A band of field-clearance rubble is piled up against the outer bank from WSW through W to N. A field wall overlies this bank at S. Within the interior are a number of randomly placed limestone boulders. A few fields to N, the landowner discovered a number of 'small human bones' while digging a trench: not located. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

• GA030-097 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On S-facing slope of a ridge in undulating grassland. Very poorly preserved oval cashel (E-W 32m, N-S 23.7m) defined by a low grassed-over dry stone wall. No visible surface trace of the enclosing wall survives from W to N due to quarrying and the construction of a shed. Gaps at N and S appear modern. In NE portion of the interior, a low grassed-over drystone wall, running NE-SW, possibly marks an internal division. To W of it is a quarried out area, L-shaped in plan (E-W 6.4m, N-S 5.8m), possibly a souterrain but more likely an excavation trench for the nearby shed.
