This poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 29.3m) is defined by a bank of earth and stone. A field wall cuts the monument at ENE and WSW. A church (GA104-195----) and graveyard (GA104-195001-) lie c. 15m to the SE. (McCaffrey 1952, 239-40, no. 106) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 15 February 2018

On the N side of an SE-NW running roadway, some 50m N of a tower house (GA104-197----). This natural spring well is delimited by a rectangular line of set boulders (5m N-S; 3m E-W), loosely spaced to allow the water to flow through. The well feeds a small pond and stream immediately to the N. On inspection, the enclosed area was partially overgrown and two large ash trees were growing immediately to the W. No votive offerings were visible. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 April 2023
- GA104-199: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA104-199----. On a S-facing slope in pastureland. When initially visited by the Survey in May 1983, this poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 28.6m) was defined by a collapsed drystone wall except from N to ENE where a shed and concrete yard were built on the line of the enclosing element. Traces of a house site (GA104-199002-) lay in the E sector of the interior. McCaffrey (1952, 240-41, no. 110) noted a ‘souterrain’ (GA104-199001-) and also referred to an oval enclosure, possibly an annexe, which was defined by a ‘wall of mixed earth and stone’ [c. 44m by c. 28.5m ext.]. It extended to the N of the cashel wall. No visible surface trace of these features survived. A revisit in June 1992 revealed that the cashel itself had been subsequently levelled.

McCaffrey (1952, 240-41, no. 110) recorded a souterrain in the interior of the cashel (GA104-199----). No visible surface trace survives.

Within the E sector of the interior of a cashel (GA104-199----). Traces of a possible house site (10.2m E-W; 6.3m N-S) comprised an L-shaped segment of walling (Wth 2.4m; H 0.3m). Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 16 February 2018
- GA104-200001: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA104-200001-. In reclaimed farmland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 240, no. 109) as a circular ‘Stone fort’ (diam. c. 45m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall with a stone-lined entrance gap (Wth c. 2m) at SE. There was a possible souterrain (GA104-200003-) in the N sector of the interior and five ‘enclosures’ abutted the inner face of the cashel wall. McCaffrey (ibid.) suggested that they may have been modern. Close by to the E, a ‘roadway’ lead to a rectangular house site (L 9.6m; Wth 4.8m). No visible surface trace of the cashel or any of its associated features survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 16 February 2018

McCaffrey (1952, 240, no. 109) recorded a possible souterrain in the N sector of the interior of the cashel (GA104-200001-). No visible surface traces survives.

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.
