Recorded monuments

• GA045-050001 Church
  Description

  Part of the ecclesiastical remains (GA045-050002-) at Eskerstephen. All that survives are the faint and partially overgrown foundations of a rectangular church (L c. 15m, Wth c. 6m) in N part of the graveyard. Aligned E-W, it is defined by a low grassed-over bank of earth and stone (H 0.6m). Faint traces of a subdivision are visible internally, running N-S, about halfway along its length. A number of loose stones at E end may be displaced wall stones (Claffey 1983, 163; Topgr. Files, OPW). 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

• GA045-050002 Graveyard
  Description

  On summit, at NE end of an esker ridge running NE-SW. Claffey (1983, 42-4) claims that this may be the site of an early 'dísert' associated with St Fechín. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as an irregularly shaped graveyard close to the td. boundary. On 3rd ed. (1931), it is D-shaped in plan (NE-SW c. 50m, NW-SE c. 40m) with a curving W wall; it has since been extended to S. The older burials, consisting mainly of small set uninscribed stones, are concentrated around the site of the church (GA045-050001-) at N end of the graveyard. Claffey (ibid., 163) mentions that 'on the southern section of the hilltop there is a small concentration of uprights which may mark earlier graves': not located. Aerial reconnaissance in July 1968 (CUCAPAVM 44) revealed some enigmatic cropmarks (GA045-050003-) to NW of the graveyard. Two dugout canoes were found in marshy ground a short distance to SE in the 1970s (Claffey ibid., 46-8; Topgr. Files, OPW and UCG).

• GA045-050003 Enclosure
  Description

  On low-lying ground to NW of Eskerstephen graveyard (GA045-050002-). Aerial reconnaissance in July 1968 (CUCAP AVM 44) revealed a vegetation mark comprising two strongly curving concentric lines. These possibly form part of a field system or a large enclosure associated with the graveyard. No visible surface trace survives.
