Recorded monuments

• GA103-049 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In level grassland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 47m) defined by a drystone wall from NE through S to WSW; it is overlain by a field wall from NE to E. From WSW to NE its outline is difficult to determine due to dense overgrowth and the presence of another field wall which may overlie it. A gap at SE appears to be modern. There is a souterrain (GA103-049001-) in the NW quadrant of the interior. (Knox and Redington 1916, 182; McCaffrey 1952, 203, no. 88) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 13 March 2018

• GA103-049001 Souterrain
  Description

  Within the NW quadrant of a cashel (GA103-049----). This largely collapsed drystone-built souterrain consists of a chamber running NNW-SSE. Access is gained at its NNW end. A section of collapse (L 4m) to the NNW of the access point indicates that the chamber continued further in that direction. A plan drawn by Knox and Redington (1916, 182-4) suggests that the souterrain consists of three chambers connected by two drop-hole creeps.

• GA103-167 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a gentle S-facing slope. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (30.5m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall. A field boundary cuts through the monument from NNW to SSE and a number of other field boundaries abut it. (McCaffrey 1952, 203, no. 87) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 13 March 2018

• GA103-168 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle rise in undulating pastureland. Well-preserved roughly circular rath (diam. 36m) defined by a bank that is overlain by a field boundary from NE through E to SE. Gaps at NNE and SSE appear to be modern. Field clearance-rubble obscures the bank at N. (McCaffrey 1952, 203, no. 86) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 13 March 2018
