On a ridge in pastureland overlooking lower land to N and NW. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1933) as an oval enclosure (NW-SW c. 35m, E-W 20m). The monument has been completely levelled and no visible surface trace survives. The presence of barley stubble suggests that the subsurface features may have been disturbed by ploughing. 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
- GA070-034: Ringfort - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA070-034----. On a rise in undulating grassland. Very poorly preserved roughly circular rath (D 34m) defined by a bank. A field wall overlies the monument from NE through S to WNW. A souterrain (GA070-034001-) lies within the interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

In undulating grassland immediately W of a modern house. A well-preserved circular mound of earth and stone (D 25.8m, max. H 2.4m at S). The centre is dished and there is an 'entrance-like' gap (Wth 1.5m) at E, giving the monument a barrow-like appearance. However, these features may in part be the result of quarrying.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

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.
