• GA091-017 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  On E side of a small sea inlet and c. 190m SE of the remains of Cashel House (GA091-009001-). In existence in 1549 when 'Walter Fada Bourke was murthered [there] by … Donnel Fitz-Rory Og Flaherty' (Hardiman 1846, 62-3). When inspected in February 1984, all that survived of the castle were the foundations of parts of its W and S walls (<9m by <7.30m), which were lapped by the sea at high tide. The remains of a cabin within these foundations, a causeway crossing the inlet, and a substantial fosse on W side of the latter were probably later features (SMR file). On a revisit in January 2018, following winter storms, the castle was as described in the earlier report but the causeway was not as clearly defined due to the presence of storm material consisting of boulders. Likewise, the fosse was not evident as this area was covered with seaweed. This may be the castle called 'Ballemicro' in the list of Galway castles compiled in 1574: it was then in the possession of 'Thomas Blake' (Nolan 1901, 115). (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 148-9, 151; Killanin 1947, 131) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• GA091-018 Children's burial ground
  Description

  Close to seashore at Cora an Chaisleáin. When inspected in February 1984, an unenclosed roughly L-shaped area (N-S 26m, E-W 20m), which was being transgressed by the storm beach, was visible. Numerous small set granite boulders marking burials were evident in the interior (SMR file). On a revisit in January 2018, following winter storms, the limits of the site were more difficult to define as a result of storm material, consisting of boulders, being dumped on it. However, a number of fairly recent stone-lined family plots were visible. An inscribed graveslab, dated 1860, to the memory of two sisters aged three years and one month, respectively, that was exposed following storms in late 2013/early 2014 was still visible on the foreshore (Bunbury 2014).
