Recorded monuments

• GA042-204 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  On a rise in gently undulating grassland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a subcircular enclosure (c. 50m by c. 40m). All that is visible is a low curving scarp (H 0.25m) at NE, while W limits appear to be represented by a slight drop in ground level. According to the landowner, there was formerly a 'tree' in the interior which his father would not touch. He also had the tradition of a 'cave' in the same area: 'a hollow sound' has also been heard c. 60m to NNE, in the adjacent field, during ploughing. A 'Burial Ground' (GA042-204001-) is associated. Though insufficient survives to permit classification, the associated of a 'cave' and an earthwork could suggest a ringfort and possible souterrain. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010

• GA042-204001 Burial ground
  Description

  Within an earthwork (GA042-204----). Known locally as burial ground, it was named but not marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map. This is rectified on 3rd ed. (1920), where a small unenclosed rectangular area (c. 10m by c. 5m) is shown defined by a broken line. No visible surface trace survives. Possibly a CBG.
