On a rise overlooking Bunnamullen Bay, Inishbofin, to N. The OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927b, Vol. 1, 484) refer to 'Ait Tighe Guairim i.e. the site of the House of Guairim [who] is said to have been contemporary with Saint Colman'. Indicated on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a rectangular structure but evidently removed by time of 2nd ed. (1899), when the words 'Site of' are appended. No visible surface trace survives.

This navigation beacon is on the N side of Bofin Harbour, almost directly opposite ‘Cromwell’s Fort’ (GA009D023----), which is on the S side. There are panoramic views from the ENE to WNW. The beacon (D c. 3.4m) is constructed of roughly coursed masonry which is rendered and white-washed. A base-batter (Wth 0.32m) is evident to a height of 0.4m above the ground level. The tower tapers slightly towards the cornice which projects beyond the eaves. Above the cornice, it is capped by two stepped bands of ashlar masonry. A niche in the SW face contains a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary. A small undated inscribed stone placed against the base of the wall, roughly at west, commemorates Hugh O’Donhel. The beacon is one of three (see also GA009D018---- and GA009D043----) which aided navigation of the bay. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Updated by: Olive Alcock Date of revised upload: 23 March 2023

This navigation beacon is on a steep S-facing slope overlooking Bofin Harbour to the S and another similar one (GA009D017----) lies c. 100m to the SSW. A third (GA009D032----) is situated across Bofin Harbour on Gun Island, c. 440m to the SSW. There are panoramic views from ENE to WNW. The beacon (D c. 3.4m) is constructed of roughly coursed masonry which is rendered and white-washed. The tower tapers slightly towards the cornice which projects beyond the eaves.

Close to seashore on N side of the harbour of Inishbofin. The OS 6-inch maps record it as the site of a castle but the OS Letters fail to mention it at all. According to Westropp (1911, 68) 'only a tradition of the site [existed] in 1839'. In the absence of surface features and documentary evidence, its existence and classification must remain uncertain. The site of Guairim's House lay to N (GA009D011----). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.

On W-facing slope of a small hill just S of a stream which runs NE into Loch Fána. All that survives are a pair of millstones (Ds 1.4m, T 0.35m) lying 4m apart on the side of the hill. According to local tradition there was a stone structure known as 'the Mill' on the stream but it was demolished to provide stones for a nearby road.

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.
