• GA104-238 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level pastureland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 246, no. 19) as a circular ‘Earthen fort’ (diam. c. 40m), defined by two banks and an intervening fosse, which was ‘breached and destroyed on the west side’. There was an entrance gap (Wth c. 1.8m) to the E. The monument has been levelled and was evident as a circular area of longer grass and nettles.

• GA104-241 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a NE-facing slope. Described by McCaffrey (1952, 246, no. 56a) as a very denuded circular ‘Earthen fort’ (diam. 36.6m). It is defined by a low earthen bank (Wth 3m; H c. 0.3-0.5m), roughly D-shaped in plan (c. 20m NE-SW) with straight SW side (L c. 30m). Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 17 June 2019

• GA104-242 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  On a slight hill in reclaimed pastureland. According to McCaffrey (1952, 29, no. 19b; 1955, 225), this circular ring-barrow (diam. c. 23m), comprising a low flat-topped mound (diam. c. 14m; H 0.3m) encircled by a fosse and external bank, was overgrown with furze. Cultivation ridges ran across it and numerous pits were visible in its S and W sectors. It was further damaged by an 'old ditch' which cut across it at S. No visible surface trace survives. Another ring-barrow (GA104-242001-) lies c. 24m to the S. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 15 August 2019

• GA104-242001 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  Some 24m to the S of another ring-barrow (GA104-242----). According to McCaffrey (1952, 29, no. 19a; 1955, 225), this was a circular ring-barrow (diam. c. 13m) comprising a low flat-topped mound (diam. c. 7m; H 0.3m) encircled by a fosse and external bank. It had been levelled and cultivation ridges crossed it. No visible surface trace now survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 15 August 2019

• GA104-243 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pastureland. A very poorly preserved circular area (33.3m N-S; 17.4m E-W) defined by slight traces of a bank (base Wth 8.7m; Wth of top of bank 0.8m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 0.8m) may be the remains of a possible rath. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 31 July 2019

• GA104-244 Crannog
  Description

  In a turlough c. 15m to the S of a channel of the Dunkellin River. This crannog (diam. 30m; H 3m) is defined by a circular tree-covered cairn of stones, which is delimited by a low drystone wall of large blocks. Near its summit, a roughly rectangular enclosure (L 3m; Wth 1.5m) constructed of drystone walling, one course high, may be a modern feature possibly associated with 'duck-hunters' who used the site for concealment (McCaffrey 1952, 43, no. 1). (Redington 1916, 57-8) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 9 January 2020

• GA104-245 Burial ground
  Description

  On a rise in pastureland. This poorly preserved oval-shaped burial ground (33m NE-SW; 14m NW-SE) is defined by a drystone wall. The interior is overgrown with ash trees and nettles. Between 15 and 20 graves were noted. They were aligned ENE-WSW and consisted of small slab-lined graves with uninscribed head and footstones. They varied in length from 1m to 1.8m and the headstones were between 0.2m and 0.4m high. They were concentrated in the S and W sectors of the burial ground.
