## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- GA042-204: Ringfort - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA042-204----. 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, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA042-204001-. 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. 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
- GA042-204002: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA042-204002-.

---

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.
