In level pastureland in a recently planted conifer plantation. Poorly preserved oval rath (c. 50m E-W; c. 30m N-S) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is clearly visible except to the SE where it is breached by numerous gaps. The fosse is evident all round. The outer bank only survives at SW and NW. The interior is planted with conifers and a pathway cuts through the monument at N and S. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 16 February 2018

On a N-facing slope in pastureland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a roughly D-shaped unenclosed burial ground named 'Kilcrimple Grave Yard'; on the 1920 edition it is more rectilinear in plan (c. 33m NE-SW; c. 29m NW-SE). No headstones or grave-markers are visible. Traces of a levelled bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.2m) suggest it was enclosed. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 30 February 2020

This is one of a group of three tombs (see also GA125-121---- and GA125-128----), which are situated on rolling farmland, c. 1km to the NW of Ballinlough in the NE foothills of the Slieve Aughty Mountains. This tomb comprises a ruined chamber (L c. 2m), with the entrance at SE, formed of two portal-stones and two sidestones above which rests a large roofstone: the E portal-stone and sidestone have collapsed inwards. A displaced stone lies immediately in front of the entrance and two others occupy the N end of the chamber. Traces of a low mound are discernible around the tomb. Marble Hill demesne, within which this monument formerly stood, also contained four other megalithic-type structures: see GA125-120----, GA125-123----, GA125-130---- and GA125-131----.

In rolling hilly pastureland, some 210m to the S of a portal-tomb (GA125-119----). This tomb comprises the ruins of a long narrow gallery (L 10m) aligned NE-SW. A septal-stone at SW separates a short portico (L c. 1.4m) from the remainder of the gallery (L 7.2m) of which six sidestones are in position at N, five at S, and a backstone at E. Two roofstones rest in a sloping position above the gallery walls. A single upright stone at N forms a doubling of the wall and a line of five stones to the S of the gallery may be the remains of an outer wall. The gallery is incorporated in an irregularly shaped mound on which lie a number of displaced slabs.

On a rise in hilly pastureland. Circular rath (diam. 40m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. A gap (Wth 5.5m) in the inner bank at SE appears to be original. The fosse and outer bank survive from S through W to N. There is a souterrain (GA125-124002-) in the NE sector of the interior. An ice house (GA125-124003-) has been built into the inner bank at NE.

Within the NE sector of a rath (GA125-125002-). This well-preserved drystone-built souterrain (L > 15.7m) consists of three chambers connected by two creeps. Access is gained through a broken roof lintel in the middle or 2nd chamber. The 1st chamber (L 6.6m; Wth 1.7m; H 1.6m) runs E-W. A creep (L 1.7m; Wth 0.7m; H0.55m) extends off its NE end and leads to the 2nd chamber (L 5.4m; Wth 1.4m; H 1.7m) which runs N-S. Another creep (L 2m; Wth 0.6m; H 0.55m) extends off its NW end and leads to the 3rd chamber which also runs E-W. This chamber is inaccessible.

This grass-covered circular icehouse, which is constructed of mortared coursed masonry, was built into the external face of the inner bank of a rath (GA125-124001-) at NE. A pointed arch opening leads to a short passageway (L 2.5m; H 1.7m) that accesses the interior, which is barrel shaped (int. diam. 3m; H 3.9m). The roof is domed and corbelled.

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.
