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

- GA087-211001: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA087-211001-. Described in OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1972, Vol. 1, 645) as 'a templeen' but named as 'Church' on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map. It is marked thereon as a roofed rectangular building aligned E-W. All that now survives is its grassed-over outline (E-W; L 12m, Wth 6m) defined by a wall foundation (H 0.2-0,5m; Wth 0.8m) and partially shaded by a solitary chestnut tree. A gap towards W end of S wall may mark the position of the doorway. A small almost square enclosure (E-W 11.5m, N-S 11m) adjoins it on N side. This is defined by a low bank with a possible entrance at NW corner. According to local tradition, this church was in use until the early 19th C. This and its stratigraphical relationship with the enclosure (GA087-211004-) that lies to its NW hint that it may be a post-medieval foundation, possibly a pre-emancipation RC chapel, though the td. name might suggest otherwise. A CBG (GA087-211002-) and a series of earthworks (GA087-211003-) are associated. (ASGAP 171:10) 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). Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Updated by: Olive Alcock Date of revised upload: 8 December 2016
- GA087-211002: Children's burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA087-211002-. Immediately S of a church (GA087-211001-). A subrectangular area (N-S 22m, E-W 20m) enclosed by a bank and linear depression define E side and the church forms N limits. A gap in the bank along S side probably marks the entrance. The burials consist of rows of unworked and uninscribed grave-markers indicating graves oriented E-W. Two small grass-covered stone mounds are evident to S. According to local information the graveyard was in use until the early 19th century. (ASGAP 171:10). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

- GA087-211003: Earthwork, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA087-211003-. Associated with an enclosure (GA087-211004-) and church (GA087-211001-). Aerial reconnaissance in August 1984 (ASGAP 171:10) brought to light a series of low earthen banks and/or scarps on the ridge. These formed narrow terraces in places. A number of the banks appear to radiate from the enclosure. Two other possible curvilinear enclosures (E-W 22m and c. 50m) were also noted, c. 100m to S of the latter. These are defined by a scarp and a bank, respectively, and both are partially overlain by a modern field boundary running NE-SW. Little or no trace of them survives to N of the boundary.

- GA087-211004: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA087-211004-. On a N-S running ridge in undulating pastureland overlooking the Ballinure River to W. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as an oval enclosure immediately to NW of a church (GA087-211001-). It consists of an oval area (N-S 46m, E-W 30m) defined by a low degraded bank (Wth 2.7m, H 0.6m max.). This has been destroyed from E to SSE where the church and a small adjoining enclosure overlie it. A series of earthworks (GA087-211003-) is associated.

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.
